Kamloops RCMP are confirming one person is dead following a collision between a transit bus and a fuel truck on Wednesday morning.

The 900 block of Ord Road remains closed as RCMP are on scene investigating, and Kamloops Fire Rescue is cleaning up the fuel spilled from the truck.

The transit bus was not in service; therefore, no passengers were on board.

“We are asking the public to refrain from going to the area as police are investigating the cause of the crash,” said Cpl. Dana Napier.

Local first responders have requested support from the Ministry of Environment.

An Environmental Emergency Response officer has deployed to the site to provide support and conduct an initial assessment.

Anyone with information or dash cam footage is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachmen
