The Sicamous RCMP has released drone images that show the scale of a multi-vehicle collision that killed one person on the Trans-Canada Highway on Saturday evening.
Police said the man was found dead “pinned between the unit he was driving and the trailer of a unit that came to rest in front of his.”
Six people were taken to hospital in the wake of the crash which involved multiple tractor-trailers as well as other vehicles.
RCMP said the chain-reaction collision occurred around 6 p.m. on Highway 1 between Sicamous and Salmon Arm, when “an eastbound flat deck tractor-trailer unit jack-knifed and completely blocked all three lanes of the highway.”
The highway was closed for more than 24 hours, till Sunday evening, as officials investigated and cleared the debris.
Police are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage of the crash to contact Sicamous RCMP.
