Prince George, B.C. – Two young women from Prince George were killed in a two vehicle collision on Highway 16 near Mapes Road last night.

Prince George Regional Traffic Services, along with Stuart Nechako Traffic Services in Vanderhoof, are investigating the crash which took place around 9:13 last night. The highway was closed for several hours while the Collision re-constructionist examined the scene to gather all evidence to determine the cause of this deadly crash.

The young women were traveling west bound when they crossed the center line and collided head on with an east bound 5 tonne truck. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the truck were taken to St. John Hospital in Vanderhoof, but were not seriously injured.

The police continue their investigation, and although the exact cause of the crash has not yet been determined, speed is considered a factor in the crash. No names are being released at this time pending notification of next of kin.

The RCMP and the BC Coroner's Service are asking anyone, who may have witnessed this terrible crash, to please call the RCMP or Crimes Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

I am so sorry for the parents. May they find comfort in Gods love and their friends and family.
My heart is breaking too. I lost my little brother on February 26th
I will pray for the parents. The pain is unexplainable.

Horrific accident and terrible situation for all. There were already flowers at roadside by this afternoon, so the two young women will certainly be missed.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the families for their tremendous loss.
