On September 28, 2026, at approximately 5:08 a.m., Hope RCMP responded to a report of a collision in the eastbound lanes on Highway 3 just west of the Highway 5 junction.

Officers attended and located a semi-truck and a logging truck that had collided, resulting in significant debris being scattered across the highway and the closure of Highway 3. The driver of the logging truck sustained injuries and had to be extricated by emergency responders before being transported to hospital for treatment. The driver of the semi truck reported no injuries.

Highway 3 remained closed for several hours while emergency crews worked at the scene and debris was removed from the roadway.

Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in the collision as there were no other vehicle on the road at the time. Impairment is not believed to be a factor in the collision, and both drivers are cooperating with the investigation.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
