Highway 95 S was closed in both directions from approximately 12 PM to 6 PM today following a fatal motor vehicle incident near Schiesser Rd, 17 kilometres south of Golden BC.

An SUV lost control of their vehicle while travelling northbound on Highway 95 S and collided head-on with a transport truck heading south. The vehicles caught fire, and the fire was contained roadside.

Both occupants of the SUV died during the collision, and a next of kin notification is currently in progress.

Both occupants of the transport truck survived and are being treated in Hospital for minor injuries.
