Police in Kamloops say a single-vehicle crash downtown last night was caused by a medical emergency behind the wheel.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says police were called to the crash at Lorne Street and 7th Avenue at 10:30 p.m., where a van had driven off the road and clipped a hydro pole.

The female driver was unconscious and taken to hospital. Shelkie says the incident was caused by a medical emergency, but didn’t comment on the extent of the driver’s injuries.

Lorne Street was partially closed for about three hours after the crash.

There are also reports of two crashes this morning causing traffic delays on the Trans-Canada,
