Motorists travelling Highway 97 encountered some delays near Falkland Thursday morning.

A vehicle rolled over 15 kilometres south of Falkland around 8:30 a.m. causing the road to be reduced to single lane alternating traffic.

Icy conditions are reported throughout the North Okanagan. Therefore motorists are urged to slow down and use extreme caution.

“Thre’s been a fair number of fender benders and such,” said Vernon Fire Chief David Lind. “It’s been a few busy days.”
