Vehicle caught in small avalanche in B.C. Interior
One vehicle was trapped in an avalanche on Highway 1 east of Revelstoke on Sunday, the province says.
The Trans-Canada highway was closed for nearly two hours between Revelstoke and Golden to allow workers to remove the car, which was not buried, and clean up the avalanche.
There were no injuries.

The avalanche occurred around 1 p.m., approximately 46 kilometres east of Revelstoke.
The province says warming afternoon temperatures create increased avalanche risk at this time of year, but officials are monitoring conditions and doing avalanche control.
