Two vehicles went off the road, down a steep embankment on the connector between Merritt and Kelowna in the afternoon of June 7.
According to an eye witness, the vehicles went off the road just past Loon Lake Lodge due to icy road conditions. The road reopened after vehicles were retrieved around 6 p.m.
Capital News has reached out to the RCMP for comment.
