KAMLOOPS — Emergency crews had the Trans Canada Highway in Valleyview closed for several hours last night after a motorcycle-involved incident.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Acting Platoon Captain Dale Greffard says the call for the incident came in at about 8:45 p.m from RCMP, who were first on scene.

“Our first unit was our engine from Valleyview,” He explains, “Motorcycle operator had hit a curb at Comazzetto Road and laid his bike down, so a single vehicle incident.”

Greffard says while waiting for paramedics to arrive, they attended to the medical needs of the patient.
