Head-on crash at 5 a.m.

Oliver fire crews responded to the scene of a two-vehicle collision early Saturday morning near Leighton Crescent.

The pair of cars had crashed head-on around 5 a.m., with two people in one vehicle and a third in the other. 

"One vehicle did end up on the side of the road, the other was pushed down an embankment into a thicket," said Oliver Fire Department spokesperson Rob Graham. 

Crews attended the scene expecting to have to perform an extrication from one of the vehicles, but discovered the door opened easily. None of the three people involved were seriously injured, and were escorted from their vehicles by members of the fire department to ambulance personnel.

RCMP took over at the scene from the fire department.
