Driver killed in single-vehicle rollover north of Summerland

RCMP and the coroners service are investigating a fatal single-vehicle rollover north of Summerland.

Penticton RCMP and the B.C. Coroners Service are investigating the crash which took place in the 1200 block of Fish Lake Road north of Summerland, according to an RCMP media release.

Police were called around 7:27 a.m. today, May 27, by a motorist who came across an older model grey Nissan Pathfinder that had been involved in a rollover.

Penticton RCMP and first responders arriving on scene found the driver, a 35-year-old woman, deceased at the scene.

The woman was the only occupant of the vehicle.

No further information is being released about the deceased due to privacy considerations, RCMP said. The investigation into the cause of the collision remains ongoing.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
