Highway 3 crash kills both drivers

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Apr, 2024 04:07 PM
  • Highway 3 crash kills both drivers

Mounties in southeastern B-C say a head-on crash on Highway 3 has killed the drivers in both vehicles. 

It happened near the community of Kitchener, northeast of Creston, yesterday afternoon when one vehicle crossed the centre line. 

Police say a 33-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man are dead, while a passenger in one of the vehicles is in hospital in serious condition. 

Alcohol impairment may have been a factor, but police say because both drivers are dead, no criminal investigation will take place.
