Crash kills two on Trans-Canada Highway at Hoffman's Bluff

Two men, believed to be in their 20s, died Monday night in a fiery crash on the Trans-Canada Highway at Hoffman?s Bluff west of Chase.

The Central Interior Traffic Services are continuing to investigate the head-on collision between a pick-up truck and a semi trailer that took place at 9:30 p.m. May 6.

Chase and Kamloops RCMP as well as fire and rescue crews from Pritchard and Chase were called to the scene where witnesses reported a pick-up truck crossed the center line. The truck drove head-on into a west-bound semi trailer which was transporting butter.

The pick-up truck then burst into flames, igniting the semi as well as some surrounding trees and brush.

RCMP believe alcohol and speed were contributing factors in this collision.

A male passenger was able to escape the wreckage with minor injuries after being pulled from the truck by people at the scene. He is reported to have been taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for treatment of serious injuries

Two men, the driver and a passenger of the pick-up truck, subsequently died in the fire.

The driver of the semi-truck suffered a broken leg and was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital for treatment.

The Trans-Canada Highway was closed in both directions for approximately six hours, and has since reopened.

The investigation is now being handled by the BC Coroners Service.
