The Highway between Vernon and Kelowna is being described as treacherous. Vernon RCMP have released a statement Wednesday morning asking that people avoid travelling between Kelowna and Vernon for the time being if possible. Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says officers are responding to at least four accidents between Vernon and Chrystal waters. “We are asking people who do not need to travel to Kelowna to please stay off the roads for time being,” says Molendyk. He says he does not yet have any information on injuries related to the accidents.
Ambulances have been sent out to the different scenes.
