A section of the Trans-Canada Highway in B.C. near the Alberta border has been reopened following a fatal vehicle incident earlier Saturday.
According to DriveBC, the highway was closed in both directions west of Field, from the west boundary of Yoho National Park to the visitor centre access road in Field, a distance of around 15 kilometres.
On social media, police in Golden said the highway was closed due to a fatal motor vehicle incident.
Just before 5 p.m., DriveBC reported that the Trans-Canada was reopened to single-lane, alternating traffic.
