File # 2025-7348

On December 7th, 2025, at approximately 8:59PM, Salmon Arm RCMP and other emergency services attended a two-vehicle collision on the Trans Canada Highway just East of 20th Ave NE in Salmon Arm, BC.

Officers attended and observed that there had been a head on collision between a tractor trailer and a Buick sedan. Officers and first responders determined that the lone occupant of the Buick was deceased, and the Trans Canada Highway was shut down until just after midnight for the police investigation.

Investigation determined that the Buick was travelling Westbound in the oncoming lanes. The driver of the tractor trailer attempted to avoid the collision but was unable to. The driver of the tractor trailer was taken to hospital with minor injuries and is cooperating with the investigation. Dash cam video has been reviewed by the police and was instrumental in understanding what occurred in this collision.

“The Salmon RCMP would like to offer their condolences to the friends and family of the person who died,” says Cpl. Brett Urano RCMP spokesperson. “We would like to always remind the public to slow down and drive to the conditions. Additionally, please remember to use winter tires this winter.”
