It was the day before a family member鈥檚 funeral when one Lake Country Voyager RV employee stopped by the workplace to pick up a few parts for a camper he was tending to, before heading out of town.
That鈥檚 when a co-worker yelled, 鈥淕o move your car now.鈥�
By the time Brian Dormen got to his car, it was already underneath an unmovable mountain of debris, caused by a water main break on Mountview Road.

Dormen was on his way to Victoria to attend his grandfather鈥檚 funeral when he found his car buried beneath the rubble.
鈥淢aybe this was a sign not to go,鈥� he said, staying in good spirits.
In fact, it was a lot to handle for almost everyone at the Lake Country Voyager RV, after the flood.
Voyager RV employee Debra Bruneau had her car parked one spot to the right of Dormen鈥檚.
She said she didn鈥檛 even have a chance to pull the vehicles out from beneath the pieces of broken ashphalt that fell from the road above.
鈥淚t was like a mountain of water just came down,鈥� Bruneau said.

Although his front bumper was nearly torn off and windshield wiper fluid compartment was filled with rocks.
鈥淏y the time I got up here, I just managed to pull it away,鈥� said Stuart. 鈥淲hat are ya gonna do (sic)?鈥�
Voyager RV Manager, Jason Friesen said it was way to early to tell what the total damages are, but he is glad that no one was hurt.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 the important thing,鈥� he said.
