REVELSTOKE, B.C. — UPDATE: Police are releasing more information about an early morning crash near Revelstoke.

Police say in a news release that just before 5:00 a.m. emergency responders attended the crash on Highway 1 roughly 33 kilometres east of Revelstoke.

A westbound semi-truck had jack-knifed and came to a rest, blocking both lanes.

The highway was closed for roughly three hours. Police say the driver and his passenger were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and no other vehicles were involved.

Roads were wet from heavy rain. The crash happened in the same spot as yesterday’s fatality that claimed the life of an Alberta man.
