WEST KELOWNA - A small landslide in the West Kelowna Estates neighbourhood forced the city to close Scott Crescent for a few hours.

People living in the Diamond View subdivision were still allowed to get to their homes, according to a City of West Kelowna media release.

No word yet on what caused the rock slide in West Kelowna Estates.

The city says a geotechnical analysis of the slope failure was being done.
