The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a woman who died in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) crash near Sooke on Jan. 12, 2013.

She was Diane Louise Clark, aged 58, from Sooke.

Ms. Clark was driving a quad ATV on a narrow track in the Otter Point area just west of Sooke on the evening of Jan. 12, 2013. She was wearing a motorcycle helmet and goggles. The weather was cold and the ground frozen hard along the trail.
