WESTWOLD— Rescue crews and emergency crews from several centres responded to an accident on Highway 97 in Westwold early Sunday night.

An air ambulance responded, as did a rescue truck from Kamloops and crews from Chase. RCMP and ambulance crews also attended.

Kamloops Fire and Rescue confirms rescue crews had to remove a door on one of the vehicles and extricate a person to be flown to hospital. The accident happened on a corner, and it’s believed one vehicle crossed the centre line and hit the second vehicle head on.

Five people were apparently injured, but injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
