A teenager was taken to hospital after being struck by a vehicle in West Kelowna on Halloween night.

RCMP responded to a collision in the 2200-block of Highway 97 around 8:00 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 31).

A pedestrian attempting to cross the highway between intersections was stuck by a northbound vehicle.
