Highway 97 crash north of PG claims a life

A 28-year-old woman from North Vancouver has died following fatal collision near Mackenzie on Highway 97.

According to the B.C. Highway Patrol, police were called at about 1:45pm on Saturday when a black Dodge Ram 3500 that was towing a flat deck trailer made contact with a Black Ford Bronco at Bijoux Falls.

The driver and passenger in the Ram were taken to hospital along with the driver and one of the two passengers inside the Bronco.

However, the second passenger did not survive.

“Police are very interested in how these vehicles were driving in the minutes leading up to the collision, and we’re looking for more witnesses who saw that black Ford Bronco or the black Dodge Ram towing a trailer,” says Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “If you have dash camera footage that’s also crucial.”

Anyone with dash camera footage is asked to call the B.C. Highway Patrol or the Prince George RCMP.
