One person has died in a multiple-vehicle crash north of Kamloops.
The collision happened around 8:40 p.m. on Thursday, just south of Little Fort.
According to the RCMP, it began when two commercial vehicles, one travelling northbound and one travelling southbound, collided.
A witness told Global News the vehicles were a fuel tanker and a semi-trailer truck.
A northbound SUV then collided with the two crashed vehicles, and a truck carrying lumber headed the other way lost its load while trying to avoid the crash, Mounties said.
The driver of the southbound commercial vehicle died at the scene.
The three other drivers and one witness all suffered minor injuries, according to police.
Mounties said the Central Interior Traffic Services, the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service and the Coroner are all investigating.
Highway 5 has now reopened in both directions.
