One person was taken to hospital with serious injuries this morning following a head on collision along Highway 3 near the intersection of the Hosmer Forest Service Road near Sparwood, BC.
Crews were called to the scene at 3:15 a.m., and the highway was closed briefly while RCMP continued to investigate, but it has since been reopened to single lane traffic.
Witnesses report that a small white coloured Nissan 4 door truck travelling southbound had struck an unloaded white coloured logging truck head-on at that location. Investigation revealed the logging truck was headed northbound along Hwy 3 when it made efforts to avoid the small truck, which had crossed the centre line and was fully in the northbound lane, making the collision unavoidable and resulting in life-threatening injuries to the driver of the Nissan.
BC Ambulance transported the lone driver of the small pick up to the Elk Valley Hospital where he was air-lifted to Foothills Hospital near Calgary for further treatment. RCMP are working to contact the family of the Nissan driver. The logging truck driver was left in the care of co-workers and continues to be supported by RCMP Victim Services.
Elk Valley Regional RCMP is requesting that anyone with any information or camera evidence related to this investigation can contact the detachment at 250-425-6233 and speak with an officer. Please refer to file 2025-1317.
