BC Highway Patrol with the RCMP are searching for witnesses of a crash on May 10 involving one of their own vehicles. 

The crash happened around 8:30 a.m. on Highway 5 just south of Rayleigh near Kamloops. 

A blue Ford Ranger pickup and an unmarked grey police truck collided, causing significant damage to both vehicles and sending the officer as well as the 21-year-old female driver and the 19-year-old female passenger of the Ford to hospital. 

ā€œPolice have spoken to multiple witnesses and collected multiple dash-camera videos, but we need to be thorough and we would welcome more witnesses,ā€ said Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. ā€œThe investigation is in its early stages but there are no obvious indications of criminality to this point.ā€

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has dash-camera footage is asked to call BC Highway Patrol in Kamloops at 250-828-3111 and quote file 2100 2025-1361.
