The occupants of both vehicles were not injured, according to Lake Country Fire Chief Steve Windsor.

Windsor said speed is likely a factor in the crash.

“People just need to drive to the road conditions,” Windsor said. “It’s slippery. You can’t do 120 kilometres per hour on the road. You need to slow down.”

There were accidents reported on Glenmore Road and further north on Highway 97 at Crystal Waters Road near Lake Country.

A crash on Highway 97C, the Okanagan Connector, saw a vehicle reportedly rollover near the Brenda Mines area around 10 p.m.
