Northern B.C. truck crash kills 2 teens [Video]

A crash between two pick-up trucks in northern B.C. overnight Sunday killed two teenagers and left one adult with life-threating injuries, police said.

The head-on collision happened on Highway 97 at the top of Wabi Hill just after midnight, according to the Chetwynd RCMP. It involved a 2001 black Dodge 2500 and a 2011 grey Ford F-350.

The 19-year-old driver and 15-year-old passenger of the Dodge, both male, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The driver of the Ford, a 21-year-old man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

“The highway has since reopened and the investigation is ongoing as the causal factors in the crash are not yet known,” reads a news release issued Sunday afternoon.

Anyone with information or dash camera video is asked to call the Chetwynd RCMP at 250-788-9221.
