A passenger in the rolled vehicle, a 47-year-old Quesnel woman, was transported to G.R. Baker Hospital with what are described as non-life threatening injuries. The drivers of both vehicles were not hurt.
An investigation into what caused the crash continues, although police say speed and impairment do not appear to be contributing factors.
The Highway was initially closed but has since reopened.
