Investigators are looking for anyone with any information of video of a crash that claimed two lives last week to come forward.

On August 14, 2025, at 4:56 p.m., the Lytton RCMP received multiple 9-1-1 calls of a two-vehicle collision on Highway 1 near Spences Bridge. A southbound SUV seemingly crossed the centreline and impacted a northbound pickup truck. A total of six people and two dogs were involved in the crash, with a woman from the SUV and a man from the pickup tragically suffering fatal injuries.

Both vehicles were engulfed in flames as a result of the crash.

The driver and two passengers of the SUV, as well as the driver of the pickup, all suffered various injuries and were treated at the scene before being transported to hospital. Both dogs also suffered injuries and received medical treatment.

"This remains an active and ongoing investigation and we’re hoping to speak with anyone who witnessed the crash or may have in-car video," said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP.

Anyone with any information who has yet to speak with police or has CCTV or dash camera footage of the crash is urged to contact the Lytton RCMP at 250-455-2225.
