Three people were killed in an accident north of Kamloops shortly after the road reopened after another fatal collision.
Two adults and a baby were killed in the crash on Highway 5 Thursday morning, BC Highway Patrol agents told CTV News in an email.
The accident was reported near Vinsulla around 11 in the morning, and a transport truck was reported to be involved. The cause is unknown, BCHP said.
Police warned drivers that the road is cut in both directions and will be closed for a while. They would have to wait for long delays in the area, officers said.
It is the second fatal crash on Highway 5 in less than 24 hours. The highway was closed overnight near Barriere as officials investigated a head-on collision that left one person dead.
It had only been open for about an hour when the second fatal crash occurred.
