The Okanagan Connector has now reopened in both directions.

Photos submitted to Castanet show an air ambulance was dispatched to the crash, which involves at least two vehicles.

A white sedan rolled off the highway and sustained major front-end damage while another car was off the road in the centre median.

There were also a pair of commercial trucks parked at the scene, but it is not clear if they were involved.

The extent of any injuries is not known.
