One person is dead and four others are injured following a collision involving four vehicles on Highway 1 between Golden and Revelstoke, B.C., on Sunday morning.
Golden RCMP say officers responded just after 8 a.m. to a report of a crash between a pickup truck and motor home.
Witnesses told RCMP that an eastbound red pickup veered into the westbound lane and collided with a motor home, which resulted in collisions involving an eastbound pickup hauling a travel trailer and a westbound semi-truck.
The driver of the red pickup, a 48-year-old man from Saskatchewan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Two passengers — a woman and child — have been transported to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the motorhome has been airlifted to hospital, while a child passenger has been transported by land to hospital. Both suffered what are believed to be serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
