An 89-year-old Kelowna man has died as a result of his injuries after he was struck by avehicle while attempting to cross the highway at an intersection with no crosswalkyesterday morning.
On January 15, 2014 at 11:30 am, the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a pedestriancollision on Highway 33 at Bryden Road. An 89-year-old Kelowna man was apparently attempting to cross the four lanes of traffic, northbound, on a motorized scooter. The man made his way across the eastbound lanes and police were told that the inner lane of westbound traffic had stopped for him to continue. The man proceeded to cross the westbound lanes but the outer lane was still flowing. The man was struck by a grey GMC Sierra, the impact of which threw him off his scooter. The man suffered serious injuries and was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Sadly, he succumbed to his injuries later that afternoon.
A detailed scene survey was conducted by an RCMP Collision Reconstructionist but the analysis of that information is not yet complete.
The investigation is in its infancy and it is too early to determine whether any charges will be laid. Speed and alcohol are not considered factors at this time.
The investigation is ongoing.
