A 60-year-old Smithers woman was pronounced dead at the scene following a collision Friday on Highway 16, 10 kilometres west of Topley.

The woman's name has not yet been released.

RCMP were called at about noon to a report of a head-on collision near Perow Loop Road.

They found a camper van in the middle of the highway and a Lincoln Navigator on its roof in the ditch.

A 22 year old Houston man was taken to Burns Lake hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The cause of the crash is undetermined at this time and the investigation is ongoing, but alcohol did not appear to be a factor, RCMP said.
