Few details have been released about the collision, but Interior Health tweeted that 53 people are being treated at three hospitals in Kelowna, Penticton and Merritt.
There was no immediate word on whether anyone was killed in the crash, nor on the condition of any patients. The health authority has set up an information line for families looking for more details on loved ones. DriveBC, the communications arm of the B.C. Ministry of Transportation, said the stretch of road has been cleared and reopened shortly before 8:30 a.m. local time.
