A transport truck tipped on its side has forced the closure of Highway 97A, south of Sicamous.
The truck appears to have tipped over on a hair-pin corner, taking down power lines at the same time.
The incident happened just before 2 p.m, Tuesday.
Those travelling along Highway 97A took to social media to let other drivers know it would be a long wait before the road is open and the truck is removed from the scene.
