REVELSTOKE, B.C. — A semi driver was ticketed for driving too fast after his truck jack-knifed across the Trans Canada Highway this morning.

The crash happened at 11:40 a.m., about five kilometres west of Revelstoke. (Scroll down for photos.)

According to Cpl. Thomas Blakney, the driver was passing other vehicles in the westbound passing lane when he lost control.

The crash initially blocked both the eastbound and westbound lanes. Traffic was stopped for about an hour before the road was re-opened to single-lane alternating traffic.

Blakney says the driver was issued a ticket for speed relative to conditions on the road. Highway conditions were described as “compact snow with sleet” at the time.
