MERRITT, B.C. — A Good Samaritan has been killed in a multi-vehicle crash on the Coquihalla Highway near Merritt, B.C.

A 78-year-old man from Kamloops was airlifted from the scene with critical injuries, and police say his condition had improved by Monday.
 
Two others were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
