Rock quarry deaths

The names of two men who died earlier this week in an industrial accident near Cranbrook have been released by the BC Coroners Service.

Murray Neil Fadden, 36, of Dryden, Ontario and Larry John Chorneyko, 58, of Arran, Saskatchewan were killed Tuesday when the vehicle they were driving flipped.

The pair were working at a rock-quarry mining operation known as Swansea Ridge Quarry, located about 16 kilometres south of Cranbrook.

They were driving down a steep descent in a Mini Mack truck when the crash occurred. Both men were found deceased at the scene.

An investigation by the BC Coroners Service and the BC Inspector of Mines continues.
