A 23-year-old man was killed Wednesday evening in a head-on collision on Highway 16, west of the city.

North District RCMP, who were called to the scene between Norman Lake and Bednesti Roads at 5:15 p.m., said the man was driving a pickup truck that crossed over the centre line and struck an SUV. He was the pickup's lone occupant.

The two occupants of the SUV were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The stretch was closed for about four hours to allow investigators to gather evidence.

"While police continue to investigate, the casual factors are not yet known," RCMP said. "It was determined that the pickup truck had been reported stolen out of Prince George a few weeks prior to the collision."

Anyone with information on this crash is asked to call the RCMP at 250 649-4004 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477.
