One person is dead after their vehicle went off the road and into the waters of the Saanich Inlet on Saturday.

Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the intersection of Mills Road and West Saanich Road, near the Victoria International Airport, just before 9 p.m.

First responders found a vehicle in the water with one person inside, the RCMP said Monday.
