Wintery conditions play role in morning transport rollover
On April 19, at approximately 6:15 a.m., Elk Valley RCMP responded to a semi-trailer rollover that had jack knifed across Highway 3, just north of Sparwood. The sole driver of the semi-trailer was not injured or any other vehicle(s) or person(s).
The main cause of the incident was due to the heavy snow and very icy/oily road conditions.
Sparwood Fire Department and BC Emergency Health Services (EHS) was on scene. The highway was restricted to one lane travel only for a few hours until the semi-trailer was safely removed from its location.
“Elk Valley RCMP would like to thank the Fire Department, EHS and BC Flaggers for the service in controlling and maintaining the site.” Stated Cst. Debra Katerenchuk, Media Relations Officer for Elk Valley RCMP.
