Kelowna man identified after fatal motorcycle crash

Sep 23, 2026 | 3:00 PM

A Kelowna man killed in a motorcycle collision last week has been identified as Stefan Vracarevic.

Vracarevic died Sept. 17 after his motorcycle and a car collided near Harvey Avenue and Ethel Street at about 10 p.m.

Kelowna RCMP say the driver of the car stayed at the scene and has been co-operating with investigators.

An online fundraiser organized following the crash says Vracarevic was on his way home from rugby practice. The campaign says he had recently started riding motorcycles after buying what organizers called his dream bike.

A roadside memorial has since been established near the intersection where the crash occurred.

Vracarevic was a member of the Kelowna Crows RFC. Rugby BC issued a statement expressing condolences to his family, friends, teammates and the wider Kelowna rugby community.

The GoFundMe campaign, which had raised nearly $40,000, describes Vracarevic as energetic and passionate about living an active lifestyle.

Police have not released further details about what led to the collision, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kelowna RCMP.
