The Quesnel RCMP report that two people were killed in a motor vehicle collision last night along Highway 97.
Corporal Belanger says police were called to the scene of a semi-transport truck that had collided with a passenger sedan at Dunkley Road, north of Cinema and Quesnel.
“First responders arrived on scene and confirmed that both occupants of the sedan were deceased,” says Corporal Belanger. “With the assistance of highway rescue, the driver of the transport truck was extracted and transported to Prince George’s Hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.”
Belanger adds that speed and alcohol are believed not to be contributing factors at the time.
An RCMP traffic reconstructionist attended the scene of the accident to assist with the investigation by conducting a comprehensive examination and collecting further evidence.
