Traffic is backing up along Highway 97 in West Kelowna after a car rear-ended a van.

The incident happened in the southbound lanes just before Daimler Drive about 11:25 a.m.

One woman was taken to hospital and her vehicle had to be towed from the scene.

It’s unclear what caused the crash.

Emergency crews remain on scene clearing the vehicles and debris, which has forced the closure of one lane.
