Five patients were taken to Kelowna General Hospital after a two-vehicle accident at Hwy 33 and Hwy 97 at 2 p.m. The four adults and one child are being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
“Tow trucks have since removed the damaged vehicles from the crash scene and emergency vehicles have cleared. Initial information, gathered from witnesses at the scene, suggests that the two vehicles collided with one another, in an effort to yield to an oncoming emergency vehicle,” said Cpl.
