UPDATE: A five-vehicle collision took place on Highway 16 today (Tuesday) near Dahl Lake Road.
The area, nicknamed the “potato flats”, was subject to tough weather and road conditions which created a chain reaction that led to one individual being taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Three commercial vehicles and two personal vehicles were involved.
Highway 97 was completely closed as a result, although it was later opened to single-lane alternating traffic.
#BCHwy16 is reduced to single lane alternating traffic at Dahl Lake Road 33km west of #CityofPG due to an earlier vehicle incident. https://t.co/QGa73L200z
