Kamloops man taken to hospital after crash onto stairway at ICBC office

A Kamloops driver wedged his pickup truck onto a stairway in front of an ICBC claim centre this weekend.

A 79-year-old man had a medical issue sometime before 3:30 a.m Sunday, Nov. 13, and ended up sending his truck into the stairs in front of the ICBC building on Battle Street.

First responders attended the scene at 1251 Battle St. and he was taken to hospital in an ambulance, Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said in an email.

Shoihet said there was no damage to the stairway or the building.

She didn't specify what kind of medical issue the driver had.
