Vernon Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) would like to advise the public of an overturned vehicle on Highway 97 south, approximately 1 km before the turn off to Predator Ridge. The vehicle left the road on January 12th and has since been wrapped with caution tape. Crews are waiting for safer road conditions to remove the vehicle from the ditch.
Emergency responders have received several calls in the last few days, notifying them of this vehicle. VFRS would like to thank the public for taking the time to make reports. However, if motorists see caution tape on vehicles in the ditch, please do not call 911. VFRS members have responded to several false alarms at this vehicle location this week.
VFRS appreciates the public’s help in keeping our roads safe this week as we have navigated difficult winter conditions. And please remember, if you do see or have an emergency, call 911 immediately.
