A young man is dead and two people are injured after a serious crash on Westside Road that occurred Monday afternoon.

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP, along with Emergency Health Services and the Okanagan Indian Band Fire Department, were called out for a report of a fatal crash on the road near the intersection with Lawrence Road, south of Parker Cove, around 3:45 p.m.

Police said an older grey Dodge Ram pickup was heading north when it appeared to have caught the soft shoulder and rolled off the road.

The driver, an 18-year-old man, was killed in the crash.

Two passengers, a 19-year-old woman and a 15-year-old youth, were ejected from the vehicle during the crash. They sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.
