VOL. 34 Number 12
A head-on collision on Highway 33 Monday morning claimed the life of a 73-year-old Beaverdell woman. The accident, which took place 25 kilometres south of Big White Road, occurred at 8:29 a.m. and caused the highway to be closed for several hours. Kelowna RCMP and Central Okanagan Traffic Services responded to the crash. “Preliminary findings at the scene suggest that a southbound Mazda van had crossed the centre line to pass a semi-tractor trailer when it collided head on with an older beige Ford four-door sedan passenger car,” said Jesse O’Donaghey of the Kelowna RCMP in a press release. “The driver of the beige Ford was pronounced deceased at the scene. Preliminary findings also indicate that the woman was partially ejected from the vehicle during the collision as she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Her passenger, a 21-yearold man also of Beaverdell, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was treated in hospital.” The driver of the Mazda van, a 35-year-old woman, and her passenger, an eight-year-old girl, both from Kelowna, were treated at Kelowna hospital for non-life threatening injuries. No names have yet been released. The RCMP and the BC Coroners Service are continuing to investigate.
