Police seek witnesses to a serious crash

RCMP in Kelowna are looking for witnesses to a late night collision that sent a man to hospital in late April.

On April 25 just after 11:00 p.m., RCMP received a report of a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Harvey Avenue and Cooper Road. Police believe that a green Chevrolet Malibu was travelling northbound along Cooper Road, when it was struck by a black GMC Yukon reportedly headed eastbound on Harvey Avenue. Early indicators suggest that the driver of the GMC Yukon failed to stop for a red light at the intersection.

“The driver of the GMC SUV attempted to depart the collision scene southbound on Cooper Road, but didn’t get far before his vehicle became disabled. He was located in the immediate vicinity and taken into police custody a short time later,” said Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy, media relations officer.

The RCMP’s investigative findings will be forwarded to the BC Prosecution Service for review and charge assessment.
