Incident closes Highway 97

Highway 97 was briefly closed in both directions early this morning in Westwold.

DriveBC reports a "vehicle incident" occurred about 4 a.m. at the 90-degree corner entering the tiny community north of Falkland, about 55 kilometres north of Vernon.

Single-lane, alternating traffic was detoured via Back Road for 45 minutes while the scene was cleared.

The highway is now open.

No other details are currently available, but Castanet will update as information becomes available.
