One dead, several hurt after vehicle with Manitoba plates crashes in B.C.

REVELSTOKE, B.C. — One person is dead and four others are in hospital after a three-vehicle crash on the Trans-Canada Highway in British Columbia.

RCMP say the collision happened around noon Wednesday when a westbound vehicle with Manitoba licence plates crossed the centre line about 40 kilometres west of Revelstoke.

It slammed into an eastbound vehicle from Alberta, then slid sideways into a second vehicle that was also heading east.

Police say a passenger in the Manitoba vehicle died at the scene, while the driver and three other passengers were taken to hospitals in Kamloops and Salmon Arm.
