Williams Lake RCMP continues their investigation into a single-vehicle collision that happened over the long weekend.

Corporal Fraser Bjornson said on Saturday afternoon just before 5:30, police were dispatched to a single-vehicle collision on Chimney Lake Road near Williams Lake.

Emergency Services arrived to find a passenger vehicle had rolled multiple times coming to rest on the east side of the highway.

Bjornson said the lone occupant of the vehicle, a 31-year-old male resident of Kelowna, was immediately taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment of his injuries.
