Truck crash knocks out power in Sicamous

On January 4 at 8:30PM Sicamous RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on Hwy 97A near Marvyn Road.  A Ford F350 had lost control while traveling south before striking a hydro pole and rolling onto its roof in the ditch.  Sicamous Fire Rescue attended to assist in removing the driver from the truck once BC Hydro was able to confirm the scene was safe due to the downed power lines.  The driver was transported to hospital in Vernon with non life threatening injuries.  BC Hydro worked to replace the destroyed pole which resulted in power being interrupted in Mara and parts of Sicamous for an extended period.   Police noted road conditions at the time were extremely slippery.
