KAMLOOPS, B.C. – For the second time in as many days, a crash involving a motorcyclist closed a section of the Trans Canada Highway through southern British Columbia.
The latest crash happened early Thursday just east of Salmon Arm when a motorcycle collided with a pickup.
RCMP Cpl. Mike Halskov says the motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital in serious condition, while the driver of the pickup is unhurt.
A motorcyclist died Wednesday on Highway 1, 29 kilometres west of Revelstoke after colliding with a transport truck.
That stretch of the Trans Canada was closed for several hours Wednesday and Highway 1 east of Salmon Arm was also closed for a time Thursday.
The cause of both crashes remains under investigation. (CHNL)
