Police are looking to speak to any witnesses to a collision between an unmarked BC Highway Patrol vehicle and a civilian vehicle on Saturday morning.
The collision occurred on May 10, 2025, at 8:32 am, when an unmarked grey police pickup and a blue Ford Ranger pickup were both northbound on Highway 5, the Yellowhead Highway, just south of Rayleigh near Kamloops.
“Police have spoken to multiple witnesses and collected multiple dash-camera videos, but we need to be thorough and we would welcome more witnesses,” says Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol.
“The investigation is in its early stages but there are no obvious indications of criminality to this point.”
