Police seek witnesses to fatal crash between two semis

Police are looking to talk to any witnesses to fatal crash on Highway 97 between Vernon and Kamloops earlier this month.

On Monday, Feb. 12, at 5:50 p.m., there was a head-on collision between two commercial vehicles near Monte Creek, east of Kamloops.

The collision resulted in the death of one driver, while the other driver was taken to hospital and survived.

The BC Highway Patrol’s investigation of the incident has revealed that one of the semi trucks failed to negotiate a curve and crossed the centre line.

They are asked to contact the BC Highway Patrol – Kamloops office at 250-828-3111, extension 2,” Cpl. Melissa Jongema, media relations officer, said.
