KAMLOOPS — A truck driver is dead after an early morning crash near Knutsford.

Sgt. Mike Pears of RCMP Central Interior Traffic Services says at about 3:15 this morning, a semi loaded with lumber was southbound on Highway 5A, descending down Cardu Hill when it went off the road and down an embankment.

Pears says the driver was declared dead a short time later.

“It just went off the road negotiating the curves going down the hill. It’s a loaded commercial vehicle, and we do have members on scene trying to determine why that vehicle went off the road,” said Pears.
