Kelowna Mounties asking for the public’s assistance in their investigation of the fatal collision that occurred at the intersection of Harvey and Cooper, last month.
At 3:20pm, MArch 21, the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a motorcyclist that had been crushed between a van and an SUV on Harvey Avenue at Cooper Road.
“A 59 year old Kelowna man and his 56 year old wife were riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and were apparently stopped behind a white Dodge van when they were struck from behind by a black Jeep Cherokee,” said Const. Kris Clark.
“The force of the collision thrust the two riders into the back of the Dodge van.”
The Kelowna man was rushed to hospital that day, but died from injuries he sustained in the crash. The woman suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries. No one else was injured in the crash.
A cell phone was believed to be a factor in the crash.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash at the intersection of Harvey and Cooper is asked to contact Const. Butts at 250-980-5353.
