Four people were killed in a car crash early Tuesday morning on B.C.’s Highway 1, according to Mounties.
“Tragically, the four individuals have been identified as BC Wildfire Service sub-contractors who were traveling home from assisting with fire suppression efforts," said Cpl. James Grandy in a news release issued Wednesday.
Police said the collision happened around 2 a.m. near Walhachin, which is about 70 kilometres west of Kamloops.
The crash was between a semi-tractor trailer and a Ford F-350 pickup truck. The semi caught on fire, but the driver was able to escape, according to police.
All four occupants of the pickup were pronounced dead at the scene.
“Initial investigation determined the pick-up truck failed to navigate a bend in the road to the right, crossing the centre line and colliding with the semi truck head on,” RCMP wrote.
Highway 1 was closed in both directions for the investigation but has since reopened.
