By Chris Adams

A tractor-trailer unit turning onto Highway 97 destroyed a lamp standard and traffic light in 100 Mile House on January 20th.

The incident happened around 530 in the evening at the corner of 4th and Highway 97. The traffic light wound up in the curbside northbound lane, and the rig was blocking southbound.

Emergency crews responded and temporarily closed off the highway until a detour could be established on Taylor Way. There is no word on any injuries, and a temporary  traffic light is now in place.

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
