Prince George RCMP are asking members of the public to come forward with dash camera footage following a report of a person seen near the Simon Fraser Bridge on Sunday morning. Police say the incident occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Highway 97 near Ferry Avenue.

According to RCMP, a caller reported seeing an individual wearing dark clothing and carrying a backpack standing near the guard rail on the south side of the bridge. Frontline officers responded quickly but the person was no longer at the location when police arrived.

Search efforts were carried out with assistance from Prince George Fire Rescue and Prince George Search and Rescue. Despite extensive checks of the surrounding area, the individual was not located.

Police say it remains unclear whether the person left the bridge area in a vehicle or may have gone over the side of the bridge. Investigators are now focusing on gathering additional information from the public to determine what happened.

RCMP are asking anyone who was travelling through the area between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and may have dash camera footage showing activity on the bridge to contact Prince George RCMP. Officers say even small details could help advance the investigation.
