Crash Slows Highway Traffic in Lake Country
Both trucks were heavily damaged and one landed on the sidewalk, while police and emergency crews investigated the cause.
On Oct. 13, two trucks collided at the intersection of Highway 97 and Pollard Road in Lake Country, blocking Southbound lanes on the highway during morning rush hours.
Both trucks sustained heavy damage in the collision, with one vehicle ending up on the sidewalk along Highway 97 near the old OKGN Market; the cause remains unclear.
Lake Country RCMP, the Lake Country Fire Department , and Emergency Health Services responded to the scene. LCFD members are cleaning up debris from the intersection.
