SAVONA, B.C. — Emergency crews were called to the scene of a head-on collision near Savona this morning, Aug 14.
According to Captain Wade Lindoff with Kamloops Fire Rescue, crews were dispatched to the scene of the collision shortly after 10 a.m.
“Rescue 1 responded towards Savona, it was just west of the lookout apparently, and Savona Rescue responded as well,” Lindoff said. “When they got there they found it was a two vehicle MVI involving a transport truck and an SUV.”
Lindoff says one person from the SUV was extricated using the Jaws of Life and transported to hospital by Air Ambulance.
