Blast of snow has Kamloops looking ahead to winter
KAMLOOPS — Much of Kamloops woke up to a dusting of snow this morning (Oct. 13).
Higher elevations of the city received a few centimetres of snow, while some Coquihalla Highway sections saw 8-10 centimetres of accumulation.
The highway was closed for a few hours due to treacherous conditions, but not before the winter conditions contributed to a couple of accidents, one occurring just south of the Inks Lake turnoff.
“What had happened is the vehicle behind me here was following behind another car and actually probably following a little too close on the highway conditions at this time, and actually ran into the back of a Toyota van,” said S/Sgt. Doug Aird of the Kamloops Rural RCMP.
