UPDATE: More information has been added.

TAYLOR, B.C. — The Fort St. John RCMP responded to a two-vehicle crash on the south Taylor Hill at about 5:48 p.m. on Wednesday that led to one person being transported to hospital.

Corporal Madonna Saunderson with the North District RCMP said one of the vehicles had one occupant while the other had six people inside.

According to a comment on a social media post, the driver of the vehicle with six occupants was a mom with five kids. The woman claiming to be the mom said one of her kids has a broken hand and another is in rough shape due to getting glass in her eye.

The woman says she and her family were on the south Taylor Hill on their way into town for her daughter’s birthday dinner when someone in a truck passed them, side swiped her car and directed it into a semi-truck.

RCMP said only one of the passengers in the vehicle ended up receiving minor injuries. 

Saunderson said the highway was closed for almost three hours on Wednesday but has since reopened.

She said nothing criminal was involved in the crash, though the investigation is ongoing.
