  • Fiery head-on crash on Highway 1 kills two near Lytton, B.C.

A fiery head-on crash on Highway 1 in the British Columbia Interior has left two people dead.

Lytton RCMP say the crash happened on Aug. 14 just before 5 p.m., when police began receiving calls from the collision site near Spences Bridge.

Police say officers arrived to find that a southbound SUV likely crossed over the centre line of the highway and collided with a northbound pickup truck.

Mounties say in a statement that the crash left both vehicles "engulfed in flames."

Emergency responders say three occupants of the SUV and the driver of the pickup were all taken to hospital, and two dogs also involved in the crash were treated for injuries.

Police say a male passenger in the pickup and a female occupant of the SUV died in the crash.
