<p>An influencer couple in Canada has reportedly died after a tragic off-roading accident in the British Columbia Interior.</p>
<p>Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans — who ran the YouTube channel Toyota World Runners, which documented their adventures and has over 200,000 subscribers — died on Thursday, Aug. 7, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).</p>
<p>Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR) confirmed the team had been called to the scene of a backcountry crash at around 6:30 p.m. local time on that day, per a media release obtained by PEOPLE.</p>
<p>"On the evening of August 7 at approximately 6:30 p.m., Kaslo Search and Rescue received a call regarding a serious motor vehicle rollover near Silver Cup Ridge, adjacent to Trout Lake, high in the Purcell Range," the statement read.</p>
<p>It continued, "Two ground teams were dispatched immediately, supported by a quad team for rapid access. The team was also able to secure a local helicopter and pilot to assist. Given the potential severity of injuries and the limited daylight remaining, air support was critical."</p>

<p>SAR added that "upon arrival, the team located one individual with no vital signs and a second person, found away from the crash site, who was disoriented and suffering from serious injuries."</p>
<p>They confirmed that "the injured subject was stabilized and flown to Nakusp Hospital, where she sadly passed away later that evening. The on-mountain SAR team, working with the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] and Coroner, recovered the second individual and transported them to Kaslo."</p>
<p>Mark Jennings-Bates, Communications Manager for Kaslo Search and Rescue, said, "It was a challenging rescue and recovery for the team after an intensely busy few days."</p>
<p>"The remote access, high altitude, and limited daylight all added complexity to an already difficult situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those involved," he added, per the release.</p>

<p>The Kaslo SAR manager stated he didn't know the reason why the couple crashed, but suspected a loss of control on rough terrain may have been a factor, per the CBC.</p>
<p>He added that he didn't know if the content creators, from Nanaimo, B.C., were filming at the time of the tragedy, the outlet reported.</p>
