One dead after deadly storm brings powerful winds, heavy rain to BC

The second of three storms to hit B.C. proved to be deadly over the weekend, as powerful winds and heavy rain brought down trees and power lines in many parts of the province.

In Surrey, a group of children jumping on a trampoline in their front yard narrowly escaped with their lives.

Resident Nemar Alnemar says his three little sisters "were playing on the trampoline not even two or three minutes before the tree fell... It was a pretty close call.”

Elsewhere, the winds were deadly, leaving BC Hydro to clear debris and secure downed power lines after a tree came down on a highway, trapping two vehicles.

Despite life-saving efforts, one of the drivers died on scene, while the others were left with minor injuries.

Kristen Robinson has the details.
