RCMP in Williams Lake continue to investigate after two vehicles ended up in the ditch on Highway 97 North, near Scharf Road.
RCMP say they received a call at 2:27 am this morning from a driver that had sideswiped his pickup, causing him to enter the ditch.
Officers say they located the other vehicle, a Volkswagen Jetta, which was also in the ditch, 100 meters away from the pickup.
The driver of the Volkswagen told RCMP he swerved to avoid a deer and ended up in the oncoming lane.
Both drivers of the vehicles were treated for minor injuries.
Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.
