A family of five was involved in a scary crash north of Vernon Friday afternoon.
A pickup truck was crossing from Highland Road to L&A Cross Road just before 1 p.m. on Aug. 4 when it collided with the family’s vehicle which was headed south on Highway 97.
Armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief Ian Cummings said the people involved were fortunate to escape serious injuries.
“The van went off the road, over the bank and into the ditch. There was a family of five: three young children and two adults. Luckily, there was just very minor injuries. You can thank the new construction of vehicles and air bags for that,” Cummings told Vernon Matters.
