Police in Kamloops are seeking a truck driver involved in a collision that killed two people early Sunday morning.
Around 1:40 a.m. Sunday, Kamloops RCMP were called to the intersection of 1st Avenue and Battle Street where a car and a truck had collided.
Two of four occupants inside the car had died by the time first responders arrived on scene, while the other two were rushed to hospital. One remains in life-threatening condition while the other suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck had fled the area before officers arrived at the scene.
Police have since closed roads in the area as they investigate the circimstances of the collision.
“Due to the severity of this collision, our investigation could take most of the day,” said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie. “We thank motorists for avoiding this area and taking alternate routes.”
Anyone with information about the collision or who may know the driver of the truck is asked to contact investigators at 250-828-3000.
