UPDATE 2:07 p.m.

Traffic has returned to normal on Highway 97 near the Kelowna International Airport following a collision that caused both lanes to be shut down while crews worked to clear the scene.

ORIGINAL 1:21 p.m.

Traffic on Highway 97 northbound, just before the Kelowna International Airport is not moving as of 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.

Emergency crews are on the scene of a collision involving at least two vehicles. A photo sent to us from a Castanet reader shows a black sedan that appears to have collided with a white SUV from behind with another vehicle in front of the white SUV.

It appears that everyone is out of their vehicles but there is no word on any injuries.

Traffic is backed up past John Hindle Drive as of 1:20 p.m.
