PEACHLAND, B.C. – One person has been killed and another has critical injuries following a head-on crash on Highway 97 in Peachland, B.C.
The collision occurred Monday evening on the west side of Okanagan Lake, about 30 kilometres south of Kelowna, when a Pontiac SUV crossed the centre line and slammed into an oncoming cube van.
