  • Kelowna Bridge has reopens after an overnight closure prompted by a call about a person in crisis

Police in Kelowna say the William Bennet Bridge has reopened after an overnight closure that was prompted by a call about a person in crisis.

R-C-M-P say officers had responded at about 3:45 a-m, finding the person had parked a vehicle across the eastbound lanes of the bridge.

They say the person is believed to have started a small fire in the vehicle before they were taken into custody.

The Mounties say the vehicle was examined by an explosive disposal unit before it was deemed safe to be towed away.
