On Saturday, December 10, 2022, at 8:00 pm, Williams Lake RCMP were called to the scene of a two vehicle collision on Highway 97N at Macalister Road, in Mcleese Lake.

When police arrived, they found a tractor trailer unit laying on its side and a pickup truck in the ditch nearby. Occupants of the vehicles had varying degrees of injuries and were being cared for by emergency services.

The investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the crash, but police believe speed and alcohol may have been a factor.

He would also like to remind the motoring public to slow down especially during poor visibility and poor road conditions. Provide yourself ample time to reach your destination and do not operate any motor vehicle when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
