Highway 33 is now open in both directions following a collision near Kelowna early this morning.

There was a collision involving multiple vehicles on Highway 33 between Peregrine Road and Philpot Road around 1 a.m. on Feb. 10, according to a press release from RCMP.

The road was closed in both directions until around 10:30 a.m. this morning.
