Officials in northeastern British Columbia have rescinded an evacuation order issued Wednesday after the crash of a tanker truck carrying hazardous material.
A statement from the Peace River Regional District says the truck was monitored overnight.
It says the evacuation order for a small area between Pouce Coupe and the Alberta boundary was lifted because there was no further risk to the public.
The order had covered about half a dozen properties in a one-kilometre radius around the community of Tomslake on Highway 2.
