A Prince George father and son were killed Monday afternoon in a three-vehicle collision on Highway 97 just north of Williams Lake.
The victims were Cody Shreve and his son Mason, according to a family friend. Cody Shreve was a youth worker at the Evangelical Free Church in Prince George.
Police, who were called to the scene about 20 kilometres north of Williams Lake at 3 p.m., said a southbound pickup truck with a lone driver crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound Toyota with five occupants and then side-swiped another vehicle that was following the Toyota.
Cody Shreve was the driver of the Toyota and Mason Shreve was in the back seat. The other three occupants of the Toyota – mother Leanna and two children – were taken to hospital and have been released, according to the friend.
The pickup’s driver was extricated from his vehicle and transported to hospital and the lone driver of the side-swiped vehicle received minor injuries, police said.
Impairment did not appear to have been a factor, RCMP said. Anyone with information about this crash is asked to call Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services in Williams Lake at 250-392-6211.
