Update: 3pm: Victim's Name Released In Predator Ridge Crash
Police have released the victim's name from a fatal golf cart accident at the Predator Ridge Resort near Vernon.  RCMP say 51 year old Glenn Thordarson of Edmonton died in the crash, while a 44 year old man from Calgary was injured, but has been released from hospital with a possible concussion. "(The 44 year old's) injuries were obviously not as great as they initially thought, so he has been released and he is on his way back to Calgary," said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk to Kiss FM. Reports say the two men were part of a 16-person group from the Forzani Group, the company that owns Sports Chek.
