KAMLOOPS — Updated 7:15 PM:

Traffic in North Kamloops has been severely impacted this evening, November 15, as multiple incidents have forced local authorities, including the Kamloops RCMP, to take action across various points in the North Shore area. While specific details remain scarce, the police continue to monitor the situation closely.

Currently, Parkcrest Avenue is closed to all traffic between Holt and Laroque streets, creating significant detours for drivers, especially those traveling to and from Brocklehurst. Witnesses report a heavy presence of emergency services in the area, including ambulances and fire trucks, although the exact nature of the incidents remains unclear.

Earlier this evening, a collision on Fortune Drive near the intersection with Sydney Avenue was one of the factors contributing to substantial traffic delays during the evening rush hour. While that crash has since been cleared, the impact on traffic flow lingered, leaving many motorists frustrated and on edge. As of yet, there are no confirmed reports of injuries resulting from that incident.

Authorities have been actively engaged, and CFJC Today has reached out to the Kamloops RCMP and BC Emergency Health Services for further updates. As this situation develops, it’s crucial for local residents and commuters to stay informed and remain patient as officers work to restore normalcy on the roads.
