A man is in Kelowna General Hospital with “extensive serious trauma” after he was involved in an ATV crash near Oliver early Thursday morning.
Oliver RCMP said a motorist spotted a 47-year-old man, who has not been identified, lying on the pavement at 3 a.m. on Highway 97 between Oliver and Osoyoos. The driver transported the man to the South Okanagan General Hospital’s emergency department.
