Traffic is backed up coming down Bridge Hill on Highway 97 into Kelowna.

An earlier incident caused traffic to be congested, backing up the morning commute into West Kelowna.

Traffic appears to be delayed starting at Ross Road and continuing onto the WR Bennett Bridge.

According to one witness there is a two vehicle crash at the bottom of Bridge Hill and a second collision on the bridge just before drivers enter Kelowna.

An earlier incident on Highway 97 near the Kelowna International Airport caused delays for commuters coming from Lake Country into the city at about 7 a.m.
