150 MILE HOUSE, B.C. — An early morning collision on Highway 97 at 141 Mile has claimed a life.

Williams Lake RCMP say they arrived on scene shortly after midnight (Oct.20) to find a Hyundai Accent and a tractor-trailer unit had collided head-on.

“Following the collision, the semi caught on fire but thankfully the two occupants were able to escape the burning cab uninjured,” says S/Sgt. Del Byron.

He says the driver of the Hyundai, a 64-year-old woman from Lac La Hache, was pronounced dead at the scene.
