A truck camper attached to a F-350 pickup exploded on Friday night just south of Antlers Beach on Highway 97. A man, woman and their dog all managed to escape the vehicle safely. MP Dan Albas, driving home from the Oasis Art Show in Peachland, was a just few cars behind and witnessed the action. “There was a massive ball of flame,” he said. “Something must have lit up in the back. It didn’t look like anybody was hurt but it probably impacted somebody’s vacation.” The Peachland Fire Department attended the scene and extinguished the flames, which had fully engulfed the camper by the time they arrived. A boat being towed by the truck appeared to sustain no damage, though the box of the truck was damaged. Long weekend traffic was slow enough before the accident around 8 p.m., and then the highway had to to be closed in both directions for a short period. The highway eventually reopened to alternating traffic until the scene was fully cleared by emergency crews.
