A rear end crash at 32nd Street and 28th Avenue slowed traffic heading north on Highway 97 through Vernon, just before noon on Monday.

A Vernon Fire Rescue crew administered oxygen to an older woman on the passenger side of a blue car showing front end damage and a smashed windscreen before two ambulances arrived at the scene.

A silver car with rear end bumper damage sat off the road.

Two people suffered minor injuries and were expected to be transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation, said fire captain Chris Robinson.

Traffic heading north on the highway was down to one lane.
