RCMP seek witnesses and video of highway crash

RCMP are looking to talk to any witnesses, or drivers that may have dash cam video, of a crash on Highway 97 near Duck Lake in Kelowna on Sunday April 12.

A grey Chevrolet Cruze hit a red Ford F150 pickup truck conducting road maintenance on the southbound side of the highway around 12:20 p.m. that day.

“Both the driver of the sedan and the driver of the truck were transported from the scene by Emergency Health Services to hospital, with the driver of the sedan with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the road maintenance truck was transported with minor injuries,” said Const. Solana Pare.

Both vehicles were heavily damaged and not driveable.

Police continue to investigate the contributing factors of the crash and are looking for witnesses with information about the driving behaviour of the Chevrolet Cruze travelling southbound from Lake Country to Kelowna.

“Our traffic services investigators are urging eye witnesses to the crash, to the previous movements of the grey sedan involved, or to the operators driving behaviour prior to the collision, to immediately come forward and speak with police,” stated Pare.

RCMP are also appealing to the public for dash camera footage on Highway 97 N between Lake Country and Kelowna on April 12 around the time of the collision.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Services at 250-762-3300.
