Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a two-vehicle collision south of Prince George on Wednesday morning.

A stretch of Highway 97, near Stoner Pit Road, was closed for about an hour following the crash. Emergency personnel were called to the scene shortly after 10 a.m.

RCMP said the driver and lone occupant of a southbound pickup appeared to have hit a patch of black ice, crossed the centreline and collided with a northbound sedan which was holding the two who were injured.

All occupants were wearing seatbelts and speed or impairment are not considered factors in this collision, RCMP added.

"Police would like to remind the motoring public to drive according to road conditions and be prepared for winter travel which includes having good winter tread, an emergency kit, food, clothing and a cell phone," RCMP said.
