Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans‘ loved ones are in mourning.
The couple, who go by Toyota World Runners on social media, died in a car accident on Aug. 7 in British Columbia, Canada, their families confirmed.
“With unimaginable heartache, the families of Matthew Peter Yeomans and Stacey Tourout would like to advise that we lost them both, tragically succumbing to injuries in an off-road accident,” Stacey’s mom Colleen Tourot wrote on Facebook Aug. 11, “in the beautiful mountains of British Columbia that they loved so much.”
She added, “Please keep us and them in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this devastating end to an amazing Love Story. They are together forever as we knew they would always be.”
Stacey and Matthew were found “quite a long ways north in the valley up towards … the village of Trout Lake,” about 400 miles northeast of Vancouver, according to Mark Jennings-Batethe manager with Kaslo Search and Rescue.
