A fatal crash between two commercial vehicles is believed to have been caused when one semi-truck drifted over the centre line, police say.
The head-on collision on Feb. 12, at 5:50 p.m., on Highway 97 in Monte Creek, B.C., just east of Kamloops resulted in one driver dying and caused a closure of the highway for the remainder of the evening. The other driver survived and was taken to hospital.
