KAMLOOPS — A Cariboo woman was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital following a head-on crash on Highway 97 at 103 Mile House this morning.

100 Mile House RCMP Cpl. Brian Lamb says police responded to the crash shortly after 10 a.m. along with the local fire department and the BC Ambulance Service.

“There was an occupant in each of the vehicles and both received injuries and the occupant of a small passenger car received what are believed to be serious injuries and had to be extracted from the vehicle using the Jaws of Life and has since been airlifted to Kamloops for further treatment.”

He says the other driver, also from the Cariboo, received minor injuries and was treated at hospital in 100 Mile House.
