The B.C. Coroners Service is confirming an accident on Highway 97 on June 30 claimed the lives of two teens from Kamloops.
The head-on collision occurred between a northbound passenger vehicle carrying three people and a southbound transport truck, according to RCMP, around 5 p.m. Of the three in the passenger vehicle, one male teen and one female teen died at the scene. The third person was taken to hospital in critical condition.

"Our investigation is in the very early stages," he says. "That investigation will take some time."
