When officers arrived they discovered the bridge had been damaged and a gravel truck was totally disabled off the road. The pick-up truck sustained major damage along with the trailer it was pulling. A small car also received some damage.

The highway was shut down temporarily while First Responders rendered aid to the parties involved. Impairment was not a factor in the collision. The driver of the pick-up was issued a violation ticket for their role in the collision.

All parties received minor injuries and two were transported to hospital by BC Ambulance Service.
