Highway 3 is closed near Similkameen Falls after a semi-truck jack-knifed across the highway Saturday morning, leaving the truck hanging over the edge of a steep drop off.
DriveBC said that the vehicle incident is between Garret Road and Saturday Creek, which is 43 km west of Princeton and approximately 21 km east of Manning Park.
Travellers should expect major delays in the area.
