The man, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, had his Jeep parked on a narrow roadway on the 201 Forest Service Road near Big White while in the area with several friends when it started to roll. With his vehicle nearing a cliff, the man attempted to stop it from going over the embankment. Kelowna RCMP said he fell approximately 50 metres while the Jeep continued for 30 more.
