Around 12:22 a.m., the SUV went off the Taylor Main Forest Service Road and 'rolled multiple times down an embankment and into the lake,' according to police.
The occupants, four men and one woman, got out of the car and met paramedics on the road, police said, adding they all suffered 'some injuries' but are expected to recover.
'Officers are still investigating the collision but do believe alcohol to be a factor,' RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brett Urano said in a news release. 'If anyone has more information or has yet to speak with officers, please contact the Port Alberni RCMP at 250-723-2424 and quote file 2025-6092.'
