A truck hauling a trailer carrying liquid asphalt for road sealing has spilled tar over Highway 3 just east of Osoyoos.
Photographer and videographer Ron Hiller is on scene and said that the spill happened around 12 p.m. on June 21 approximately 15 km east of Osoyoos.
RCMP is on the scene with two tow trucks, and three more tow trucks are on their way according to Hiller.
“It’s quite a mess,” said Hiller. “It’s all shut down, the whole highway is full of tar.”
The highway is closed, DriveBC’s website states that an assessment in progress.
