A four-vehicle incident in Peachland is causing traffic chaos.
The crash happened around 10:50 a.m. on Highway 97, close to the Highway 97C interchange.
According to a witness who talked to Black Press, a vehicle attempted to make a U-turn on the highway and crashed into a truck, causing the incident.
While DriveBC states a single-lane of traffic is moving in each direction, a Black Press reporter on scene says traffic in the area is being re-routed in different directions, including down to Trepanier Road. Traffic is heavily affected in both directions in the area.
More to come.
