By Chris Adams

An accident on Highway 1 near Juniper Beach east of Cache Creek has taken the life of a Cariboo-Chilcotin woman.

The accident occurred around 1 pm on Wednesday (Oct. 16). Cst. Mike Halskov of RCMP E Division Traffic Services says the 23-year-old woman was westbound on Highway 1 and appears to have crossed the center line into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a pickup.

The pickup driver was seriously injured but is expected to recover.

The highway was closed and did not fully reopen fully until 10 pm.

Halskov says they have not determined why the driver crossed the center line.

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!
