    HOPE, B.C. — Search and rescue crews are looking for a man missing in the mountains north of Hope, B.C.
     
    Police say a logging truck is believed to have been washed off of a forest service road in Tuesday's storm.
     
    The wrecked vehicle was found more than 200 metres below the road in a ravine, but the truck's 61-year-old driver has not been found.
