RCMP say road conditions may have been the cause of a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 33 Thursday evening.

The crash occurred shortly after 7 p.m. on the 13000 block of Highway 33, east of Kelowna.

Police say a black Dodge Dakota pickup rolled after its driver lost control. The vehicle sustained severe damage after it struck a highway speed sign and a tree before landing back on its wheels.

Cpl. Jesse O'Donaghey says both occupants were able to extract themselves, despite minor injuries. Both were taken to hospital as a precaution.

“Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash,” says O’Donaghey.

“Investigators believe that a dramatic drop in temperature, combined with wet roads, possibly led to black ice and poor road conditions.”
