Feb 26, 2026 | 11:00 AM

SICAMOUS, B.C. — A 22-year-old woman from Salmon Arm was killed in a two-vehicle collision south of Sicamous Wednesday (Feb. 25). 

Sicamous RCMP say officers responded to the 8800-block of Highway 97A near Hummingbird Resort at around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday, where a southbound Ford sedan lost control after navigating a curve in the roadway. 

In a news release issued Thursday, RCMP say the sedan then crossed the centre line and struck a northbound semi-truck. Police say the driver of the sedan was pronounced dead at the scene by an off-duty physician who had stopped at the scene to help. 

No other injuries were reported from the collision. Police add that road conditions were slippery as heavy snow was falling. 

The stretch of Highway 97A reopened at 3:00 p.m. Construction on the RW Bruhn Bridge in Sicamous was halted for the day to allow the Trans Canada Highway to remain open.
