Overnight the RNC responded to a landslide in Corner Brook on Riverside Drive.

As a result of the landslide, a vehicle became submerged in the Humber River. The two occupants from the submerged vehicle were located in the water and brought to safety by the responding officers. Occupants of another vehicle impacted by the landslide were treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Emergency responders from the Corner Brook Fire Department, Bay of Islands Search and Rescue, RCMP, Newfoundland Power, and the Canadian Coast Guard collaborated with RNC officers to support the assessment of the scene.

The area remains impassable, and Riverside Drive remains closed to traffic at Route 440 and Humber Road.
