Kelowna RCMP Seek Witnesses to Motorcycle Crash

RCMP are asking independent witnesses to come forward as collision investigators probe a motorcycle involved crash that sent two men to hospital Saturday evening with varying degrees of injuries.

On September 1, 2018 just moments after 11 pm, emergency crews were called to the scene of a serious collision between a motorcycle and a four door sedan on Springfield Road near Willits Road in Kelowna. Emergency responders arrived on scene to find the motorcycle operator laying injured on the ground.

Initial indicators at the scene suggest that the driver of the white Honda Civic, had initiated a left hand turn onto Willits Road from the eastbound lanes of Springfield Road, when he collided with the red Harley Davidson motorcycle which had been travelling in the oncoming westbound lanes of Springfield Road. The impact of the collision ejected the motorcycle operator into the windshield of the Honda sedan.

The driver of the Honda Civic, an 84-year-old Kelowna man, suffered seemingly minor non-life threatening injuries. As a precaution, he was transported by BC Ambulance Service to hospital for a full medical assessment.
