An 84-year-old Prince George man lost his life Thursday night after the vehicle he was driving crossed the centre line on Highway 97 just south of McLeese Lake.
Police said the 84-year-old was driving northbound in a Honda CR-V on Aug. 20 at roughly 9:30 p.m. when he crossed into the southbound lane and collided with a Ford F-350 pulling a cargo box trailer.
“The driver of the Honda … was pronounced deceased at the scene,” said RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson. “The passenger in the Honda and the driver of the Ford were taken to hospital with minor injuries.”
