VANDERHOOF — Two people were injured in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 16 and Blackwater Road last night.

Mounties say that just after 5 p.m. a grey sedan crossed the highway from Macdonald Road to Blackwater Road and was struck by an eastbound SUV.

“The Vanderhoof RCMP partnered with BC Ambulance, and a determination was made to temporarily close the highway to ensure the safety of the collision victims and the safety of the first responders,” says Cpl. Chris Manseau.
