One person is dead following a Saturday night crash on Hwy 97A near Spallumcheen.
According to police, shortly after 9 pm, officers responded to a two-vehicle collision near Stepney Road and Hwy 97A. Investigators determined that a northbound vehicle crossed the centre line and collided with the other heading southbound.
Unfortunately, the driver of the northbound vehicle died at the scene. The driver and passenger of the vehicle going south were both sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The road was closed for several hours to allow police to conduct their investigation and so emergency crews could work safely.
"The results of this collision are tragic and the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP offer their sincerest condolences to all those affected," Said Constable Chris Terleski. "The cause of the collision remains under investigation and as always, we urge motorists to use caution, stay alert, and be aware of changing road conditions."
At this point, the BC Coroners Service has been called in. They are conducting their own investigation to determine how exactly the person died.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is urged to contact North Okanagan RCMP at (250)546-3028.
