SWIFT CURRENT, SK — RCMP in Swift Current are looking to find a person who may have been in possession of a vehicle that was found partially submerged Friday morning.

RCMP responded to a call from a passerby who found a 2014 red Dodge truck partially submerged in a creek along Sixth Avenue Northeast.

According to RCMP, the truck was travelling south when it appeared to leave the roadway, crash through the east guard rail and ended up in the water.

Officers were unable to locate the driver of the vehicle on the scene, but say they’ve made contact with the registered owner who confirms they were not driving the truck at the time of the collision.

RCMP officers are currently searching for Colton Koop, 26, of Swift current, who may have been in possession of the truck at the time. Officers are trying to confirm his well-being, and determine how the truck ended up in the water.
