When a ferry is off its run, signs are erected on the landing, and the ramp on the water side of the ferry is left up, explained Taylor. Taylor said the ferry involved had been operational the day before but was taken out of service because of the strike by some government workers, including ferry workers who belong to a CUPE local. Driver of car that drove off Gondola Point ferry identified as Nauwigewauk man.
On Sunday, the RCMP's underwater recovery team located and recovered the vehicle, and the body of a man inside.Īn autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death, the RCMP release stated. Shortly after, the vehicle went off the ferry ramp and into the river, said the release, which did not get into detail about the 'barricade.'
