More than a dozen people were rescued after the Kitimat River broke its banks and flooded the Big Spruce area early Monday morning.

Kitimat search and rescue teamed up with the Terrace swift water rescue team to save 13 people stranded by the rising waters.

Roads to the lower Dyke, Big Spruce and Radley Park area have been closed due to high water area.

More to come.
