A sedan and tandem tanker truck collided in downtown Westbank Friday afternoon.
The septic tanker slammed into the back of a sedan at Elliott Road and Highway 97 (Dobbin Road) in West Kelowna about 2:20 p.m.
The female driver of the sedan suffered minor injuries in the collision.
It could have been a lot worse. The foul contents of the septic truck weren't the only concern. A fuel tanker was unloading gasoline at the Chevron station just across the sidewalk from the crash, only a few feet away.
Police, firefighters and paramedics attended the incident, which backed up traffic through Westbank.
