Morning traffic diverted in OK Falls

Two people were taken to hospital in Penticton following an early morning head-on collision on Hwy 97 north of OK Falls Thursday morning. RCMP say a southbound vehicle operated by an OK Falls woman crossed the centre line and crashed head-on into an oncoming vehicle driven by an Oliver man.

Members of the Okanagan Falls Fire Department used the ‘Jaws Of Life’ to remove both drivers from their vehicles. Injuries to both drivers are believed to be non-life threatening.

Reports indicate the accident occurred around 6:30 a.m.

Traffic was backed up and traffic diverted to the East side Rd.

The highway re-opened two hours later
