Three people were injured in a Highway 1 crash that prompted a lengthy closure early Monday.
Just after midnight, the Kamloops RCMP asked the public to avoid Highway 1 in Valleyview due to an investigation into a crash involving a semi-truck and a sedan.
“Three people have been taken to hospital, one of whom has suffered significant injuries,” said Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet of the Kamloops RCMP in a press release. “The cause of the collision and contributing factors remain under investigation.”
