On September 14, 2024 Kamloops RCMP were called to single vehicle incident on Highway 5 north of Kamloops. A tanker truck had its trailer flip over and fuel was leaking from the trailer. There were no reported injuries and Highway 5 north of Kamloops is closed to allow crews to clean up the spill.

We request the public’s patience while crews clean up fuel and remove the vehicle from the highway. We are continuing to investigate with our partners to determine the cause of the incident.
