At least seven vehicles are reportedly involved in an accident on Highway 97 about two kilometres north of the Kelowna Airport.

Reports on social media indicate the accident happened around 5 p.m. and emergency crews are on scene.

A Kelowna Capital News reporter said traffic has completely stopped.

It’s the second multi-vehicle accident on the highway this afternoon.

Around 3:30 p.m. crews responded to a three-vehicle crash on Highway 97 at Gatzke Road near Oyama.

Roads are reported to be slick with black ice.

More to come.
