Highway 97 south has reopened following a two-car collision which briefly reduced it to single-lane alternating traffic.

At least three people were injured, and Sgt. Chris Riddle of the Quesnel RCMP says at this time, it does not appear the injuries are serious in nature.

Riddle reminds drivers to make sure to always double-check if it is clear at intersections, particularly when entering highways.

The Quesnel RCMP, Quesnel Volunteer Fire Department and BC Ambulance Service responded to the incident.
