An overturned car on Highway 97 is generating numerous 911 calls, but officials are aware the vehicle is there.

Vernon Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) would like to advise the public of an overturned vehicle on Highway 97 south, approximately one km before the turn off to Predator Ridge.

The vehicle ended up in the ditch on Jan. 12 and has since been wrapped with caution tape.

Crews are waiting for safer road conditions to remove the vehicle from the ditch.

Emergency responders have received several calls in the last few days, notifying them of this vehicle. VFRS would like to thank the public for taking the time to make reports. However, if motorists see caution tape on vehicles in the ditch, please do not call 911.

VFRS members have responded to several false alarms at this vehicle location this week.
