Speed and impairment factors in fatal Kelowna crash
RCMP investigators say impairment and speed contributed to the cause of a fatal single-vehicle crash in Kelowna last night.
The crash happened at around 10:30 a.m., Feb. 22, in the intersection of Highway 97 and Burtch Road, according to an RCMP media release.
RCMP said following an investigation by a collision reconstructionist it was determined that speed and impairment “are both believed to have contributed to the cause of the collision.”
“The victim was a 43-year-old male living in Kelowna at the time of the collision,” RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Steven Lang said in the release.
“We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the individuals who stopped to render assistance at the scene.”
RCMP are asking witnesses and those with dash cam video of the crash to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 and reference the file number 2026-10888.
