Emergency crews had the off ramp to Highway 97C to Peachland blocked off Friday night following a report of an accident.

Crews responded at 10:52 p.m. and blocked the off ramp for more than 30 minutes.

Witnesses said police were seen looking in a field across from the highway.

It is not immediately clear what they were looking for, but witnesses told Castanet a dog team was brought to search for the driver of the vehicle who had fled the scene. 

Castanet will have more information should it become available.
