UPDATE:
Highway 97 south of 100 Mile has been reopened following a single-vehicle incident.
100 Mile RCMP said they were called to the scene at 4:25 a.m. Wednesday. A Freightliner tractor-trailer had been going northbound along Highway 97 when the truck began to drift due to the icy road surface. The driver was unable to gain control and soon slid into the ditch of the southbound lane.
There were no injuries and the truck was removed by Bridge Lake Towing after the tractor was found to be twisted by the collision.
