Two people were transported to the hospital in a car crash on Highway 97 in South Quesnel on Oct. 10.
A minivan and a pick-up truck collided at the intersection of Highway 97 and Cedar/Larch Avenue.
Police at the scene said the pick-up was traveling southbound, and the minivan was traveling north and turning west when they collided. Both vehicles had one occupant and had to be evacuated from their respective vehicles by the Quesnel Fire Department using the Jaws of Life.
RCMP and EHS said both drivers were conscious when removed from their vehicles, and both have major injuries.
The accident closed the highway in both directions, which were later reopened using alternating traffic, with traffic control by CVSE direction southbound traffic through Newman Road.
The accident is under investigation, police are asking if anyone has dash camera, or other types of footage of the collision (not the aftermath), to contact the Quesnel RCMP detachment.
