Two people have been killed in a crash along Highway 5 north of Kamloops, B.C.

Police say both occupants of a passenger vehicle died in a head-on collision with a transport truck on Wednesday.

RCMP Traffic Services Cpl. Mike Halskov says the investigation into the cause of the crash is in its early stages but recent snow and road conditions are being considered as possible contributing factors. Halskov says Highway 5 remains closed in both directions as the investigation continues and drivers can monitor the DriveBC website for updates.

Mounties are reminding people that road and weather conditions can change quickly at this time of year, especially on the province's Interior highways and mountain passes.

B.C. government announces changes to graduated drivers' licensing regime

The British Columbia government is making changes to its graduated drivers licensing regime, eliminating the need for a second road test to obtain a full licence. Public Safety Minister Garry Begg says the changes, if approved, will see new drivers get "on-road experience" and be subject to a 12-month restriction rather than be required to take another test to get their Class 5 licence. A statement from the ministry says there will also be a new program to licence motorcycle drivers, who are "overrepresented in fatal crashes in B.C."
