Car goes airborne in afternoon crash

A man was transported to hospital following a bizarre crash Thursday afternoon.

Shawn Hannigan witnessed the crash just before 3 p.m. and told Vernon Matters the man was travelling along Okanagan Landing Road, when things suddenly took a turn.

“For some reason he came off the bank and he was airborne and the truck hit Brooks Lane which is, I don’t know, about 30-feet below and he hit a tree,” said Hannigan who helped the man until the ambulance arrived.

“He’s cut pretty bad; his head went through the windshield,” he said.
