Vehicles slide into ditch

A Joe Rich resident who's been trying to make his way into Kelowna Friday morning tells Castanet Goudie Road is very slippery.

"I'm just in a lineup. So I thought I'd let you know. I'm behind a bus [and] the bus isn't going down. It's super slick," says the 30-year Joe Rich resident, who did not want to be identified.

The tipster indicated several vehicles have ended up in the ditch as they attempted to pass a school bus, which is not moving as of 9 a.m.

The caller also said there was a semi-tractor trailer jack-knifed behind him on Goudie Road because the roadway is so slippery.

"I just thought I'd let you know so you could maybe inform people that it's very dangerous," he said.

"I was worried about my wife getting injured, rolling her car. Seems like she made it. You can't even stand up on the thing, you'll fall down."

Environment Canada is calling for a mix of sun and cloud Friday with fog patches dissipating by noon and a high of 6 C. Temperatures at the Kelowna Airport reached a low of -1 C at 6 a.m. Friday morning.
