Quadruple crash

Kamloops Fire Rescue vehicles were involved in a chain reaction crash this morning as crews attended the scene of a two-vehicle accident on the Yellowhead Highway, by the Sun Rivers turnoff.

“While we were there another vehicle hit the median, then a vehicle hit one of our rescue trucks, then another vehicle hit another rescue truck,” said Platoon Cpt. Jeff Bell.

Bell said emergency crews had attended at least eight accidents over the morning hours.

While he spoke, they were being dispatched to two other accidents, including one east of the city on Dallas Drive.

“Road conditions are terrible and people are driving too fast,” said Bell.

He did not say if anyone had been injured.
