SALMON ARM - Two people are in hospital after a vehicle swerved across the road, into a ditch and struck a tree this morning.
An eastbound vehicle swerved across the centre line on Highway 1 near Third Nations Road around 7:30 a.m. today, April 28, RCMP say in a release. The vehicle then went into a ditch and struck a tree.
