  • Highway 97 in Prince George closed both ways due to a crash

Mounties in Prince George are warning drivers that Highway 97 through the Salmon Valley is closed in both directions because of a crash.

Police say a five-ton truck and a pickup were involved in the collision around 12:45 this afternoon. 

R-C-M-P Corporal Jennifer Cooper says it's unclear how many people were in each vehicle, but at least one person has been airlifted to the hospital.

She says they're advising travellers to delay their departures as the highway will be closed for "some time."
