Head-on collision near Alberta border

Elk Valley RCMP is investigating a two-vehicle accident that occurred on October 20 around 1:30 p.m.

Two individuals sustained injuries and were attended by Emergency Health Services (EHS). The individuals were then transported to hospital in Alberta where they were eventually released. The cause of investigation still ongoing.

Weather does not seem to be a factor in this case. The highway was shut down for approximately one hour while EHS and Sparwood Fire Department attended to the scene.
