Police are conducting an impaired driving investigation following a four-vehicle collision south of Williams Lake late Tuesday afternoon, Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron told the Tribune.

Six people, including a child, were injured, however, the injuries at this point appear to be relatively minor, Byron said.

The collision occurred on Highway 97 and Eagle View Drive.

A motorist on scene said the accident involved one truck with a cargo trailer, one Ford pickup with a horse trailer, an SUV and a medium-sized car.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the RCMP or Crimestoppers.
