Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in a three three vehicle crash north of Enderby.

Police say a southbound vehicle drifted into the oncoming lane on Highway 97A near the 97B intersection around 6 pm Tuesday evening.

The collision caused two northbound cars to go off the road, one rolling over in an effort to avoid a head on crash.

The people in those vehicles suffered minor injuries.

“Upon arrival to the scene, the attending officer entered into an impaired investigation after the driver of the alleged drifting vehicle displayed signs and symptoms of alcohol consumption,” says Cst. Kelly Brett. “The male driver, a 45 year old Enderby resident, was issued a 90 day driving prohibition and was transported to the nearest medical facility for minor injuries.”
