A Vernon, B.C., woman who was rescued in early December after spending hours down a snowy embankment has died from complications related to the accident. Caroline Koenig had been driving on Highway 6 near Cherryville when her SUV went off the road on Dec. 4. After she opened the car door, she fell down an embankment and stayed for hours in the snow. In the meantime, her husband Trevor Koenig, who had grown worried about her absence, started searching for her. On Tuesday, Trevor Koenig wrote in a Facebook post that his wife had passed away on Dec. 22 from complications related to the accident.
