One of the two men escaped the vehicle and received medical treatment, said a statement from RCMP. The other remains unaccounted for.
The truck and trailer, which was carrying other vehicles, are still submerged in the river. RCMP continue to search for the missing man and are working to retrieve the submerged vehicles from the river.
