Update: Highway Crash Backs Up Traffic

RCMP have released details on a crash in Spallumcheen Thursday afternoon that had traffic backed up in both directions.

“A pick-up truck travelling south bound on Highway 97 struck a small SUV as it executed a left hand turn from St. Anne’s Rd onto Highway 97 north bound just after 2 pm,” says Cst. Kelly Brett.

Brett says the highway was shut down for a short period of time due to the collision.

“Both drivers and three other passengers involved in the collision sustained non-life threatening injuries and were transported to the nearest medical facility by the BC Ambulance Service.”
