Serious accident south of Penticton sends one to hospital
KALEDEN – One person has been sent to hospital after a head on collision south of Penticton this morning, Dec. 24.

RCMP, fire and ambulance remain on scene. Traffic is down to single lane alternating traffic and could remain that way for some time. Roads are icy with slush and snow in the area.
– This story was corrected at 9:36 a.m. Dec. 24. It was a Ford pickup truck, not a Dodge (thanks to reader Cody Ross)
