    (Original story: 6:10 am) – The main artery through Kelowna is partially closed this morning.

    Hwy 97 is closed northbound between Spall Road and Cooper Road following an overnight crash.

    Police remain on the scene and there’s a detour via Enterprise Road or Springfield Road.

    However, if the road remains closed as the morning commute picks up, there will surely be some congestion along those two routes and delays as a result.

    NowMedia will update this story as more information becomes available.
