No injuries or structure damage reported, according to Wilson’s Landing Fire Department
Two landslides, including a massive 90-metre slide, have shut down a road north of Lake Okanagan Resort, according to fire officials.
Paul Zydowicz, chief of the Wilson's Landing Fire Department, said the slides came down at about 10 p.m. Tuesday. He described one slide as being about 90 metres wide and nearly two metres deep.

"It's quite the swath of mud that came off the mountain," he said in an interview.
DriveBC said Westside Road remained closed Wednesday morning due to the slide south of Denison Road. It's unclear when it will reopen.
Zydowicz said there are no reports of injuries or structure damage. He said the province is sending a crew to evaluate the area and put together a plan to clear the debris.
He said he believes the landslides were caused by the amount of rain the area got in March.
