97 Reduced to single Lane Alternating Traffic

Friday, July 4, 2014 @ 5:30 PM

Prince George, B.C – Highway 97 , about 20 kms south of McLeod Lake is down to  single lane alternating traffic after  two semis collided.

One person has been taken to hospital with minor injuries.

One of the  semis was carrying  a concrete beam  to be  used in bridge construction. That semi was part of a convoy of  semis carrying construction materials for that project.

Large cranes have been  brought to the site to  remove the beam and place it  in the ditch. That has to be done before the Semi can be hauled away.

This is similar to what crashed today. The guy in the steering trailer blew a steer tire, crossed the centerline, side swiped another truck and the rest is history.

Then they had alternating traffic….ten vehicles at a time in each direction!!! Bone heads! The line up in both directions was close to 5 KM long.

I came down from FSjohn last night and passed a few of these trucks with the steer jeep..

‘Twas a bit of a Zoo south of McLeod Lake while they took pictures and measured up the scene.
No info on the Truck & 5th wheel trailer and pickup at the small rest area south of Summit Lake??
Think maybe someone turned left, into someone passing?????? 5th Wheel in ditch and pickup up with pass front tire flat, and pass front with much damage…
