A Whitehorse woman is dead after her vehicle rolled over on the Robert Campbell Highway near Watson Lake, Yukon, on Monday, the coroner says. Schroeder had travelled to Watson Lake from Whitehorse early on Monday, and then to a site about 114 kilometres up the Robert Campbell Highway. She was a plant ecologist who specialized in rare plants and had been working as a consultant for a Watson Lake company, the coroner says. Schroeder provided some field training at the site on Monday afternoon before heading back toward Watson Lake with a passenger later that day. When she didn't arrive in Watson Lake, some colleagues drove up the highway to look for her.
