CHETWYND -- Slick road conditions across the Peace Region led to a semi becoming jack-knifed this morning.
The incident occurred on Braden Road, between Highway 97 North and Sanataa Road, causing long delays into Chetwynd.
A Trican truck hauling a dump trailer skidded at the bottom of a hill, blocking traffic in both directions and forcing a road closure.
Drivers reported being stuck for over an hour as traffic backed up.
Heavy tow services arrived on scene and successfully pulled the truck straight, allowing the road to reopen shortly before 10:00 a.m.
DriveBC is urging drivers to be cautious along sections of Highway 97 between Fort Nelson and Chetwynd today due to compact snow, slush, and slippery conditions.
