One person was taken to hospital after a multi-vehicle crash just north of Osoyoos, B.C., Friday afternoon.

RCMP said a 38-year-old Penticton woman was driving a GMC dump truck towing a trailer when she failed to notice that traffic had stopped and rear-ended a Jeep Wrangler.

The Jeep rolled across the highway into an oncoming Ford truck towing an RV trailer, which then struck a telephone pole, according to police.

RCMP said the 18-year-old female driver of the Jeep was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
