Lumber covers highway
A lumber truck spilled its load Tuesday morning on Highway 97A near Springbend Road.
About 9:05 a.m., North Okanagan Mounties responded to a three-vehicle collision involving a semi-truck hauling a large load of lumber, near Grindrod.
Highway 97A was closed into the evening between the junction of Highway 97A and 97B.
Northbound traffic on Highway 97A was re-routed via
Highway 97B and southbound traffic was being re-directed to Enderby via Enderby-Grindrod Road.
Mounties determined the northbound semi with the lumber failed to make a turn and overturned, colliding with a southbound commercial vehicle and a pickup truck.
The driver of the overturned semi was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries, police said.
