A motor vehicle incident that resulted in a truck being fully overturned left the intersection of highway 16 and 97 closed to traffic late last night (Tuesday).
At around 11:20, police and fire rescue flooded the highway intersection in response to the incident.
Little is currently known about what happened or if any injuries were sustained, but a pickup truck was resting on its cab roof in the middle of the intersection, and the street lights above the entrance to the gateway were also damaged.
