Williams Lake RCMP are investigating the cause of a head-on collision Wednesday evening, Jan. 15 on Highway 97.

One driver is in hospital with serious injuries while another was treated and released following a head-on collision Wednesday evening just north of Williams Lake.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the incident occurred at 7:52 p.m. on Highway 97 at Commodore Crescent when a northbound Kia Sorrento and a southbound Ford F-350 collided head-on.

Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, however, road conditions, in particular low visibility due to blowing snow, may have been.
