Police have released the names of the two people who were killed in a motor vehicle collision near McLeese Lake Tuesday morning.
Marjorie Westergard of Williams Lake and Jeannine Woodhouse of Prince George were pronounced dead at the scene after their vehicles collided at about 9 a.m.
The southbound Ford pickup, driven by Woodhouse, had crossed the centre line in a curve and had a head-on collision with the northbound Honda Accord, driven by Westergard.
The RCMP say both drivers were wearing their seatbelts and alcohol was not a factor. The road was bare and dry and in good condition, and the weather was clear and sunny with excellent visibility.
A third vehicle was also involved in the incident but had minor damage, and the driver was uninjured.
The BC Coroners Serve attended the scene and it and the RCMP will continue their investigation. A traffic analyst from Prince George is also assisting.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward and speak to the investigators. The Williams Lake detachment can be reached at 250-392-6211.
