Emergency crews including police, ambulance and the fire department responded to a two-vehicle collision near Minto Road and Highway 22 in Castlegar.
The incident happened Wednesday, Aug. 26 around 12:40 p.m.
An eyewitness reported seeing the truck turning left onto the highway from Minto Road. It was then hit by a car heading south on Highway 22.
