CLINTON, B.C. — Two men were killed in a head-on crash in 70 Mile House Thursday afternoon (Apr. 23).

Mounties say a 70 Mile House man and a man from Tumbler Ridge were pronounced dead at the scene. Both were drivers in their vehicles.

RCMP says the crash occurred shortly after 2:00 p.m. near the intersection of Cunningham Road. Investigators say a large hail and rain storm was passing through the area at the time of the crash and likely played a role in the collision.

The RCMP Southeast District Central Interior Traffic Services are conducting the investigation.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is being asked to contact the Southeast District RCMP Central Interior Traffic Services at (250) 828-3111.
