RCMP have yet to determine how the crash happened but said two of five people in the vehicles were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A truck may have slid into the intersection from Summit Drive, according to RCMP, who continue to investigate.

The main roads around the Okanagan have been plowed and sanded but the new snowfall continues to create slippery and compact conditions around Kelowna.

Police remind drivers to slow down and anticipate ice, especially at intersections.
