Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Jun, 2023 12:31 PM

At least one person has been killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 3 east of Cranbrook.

R-C-M-P say two passenger vehicles and a commercial truck are involved, but they haven't said how many people in each of the vehicles might have been injured or killed.

The collision happened at around 7 a.m. and it has completely closed that stretch of Highway 3 while an investigation is underway.

At mid-morning, police estimated it could be several more hours before the route reopened and DriveB-C -- the online travel information site -- says there are no detours
