RCMP logoContributed

A 22-year-old Kelowna man was killed in a two vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon.

On July 10 at 3:28 p.m., emergency crews were called to the scene of a two vehicle collision on KLO Road in front of the Okanagan College Campus.

A westbound Suzuki motorcycle was traveling in the left hand lane of KLO Road. A VW Cabriolet made a left turn from the OC parking lot to go eastbound on KLO Road.

The Suzuki went into a skid and the motorcycle was laid down prior to impact with the VW. The male driver of the motorcycle sustained life-threatening injuries. He was transported to Kelowna General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Speed appears to be a factor in this collision. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor. The investigation continues and it is unknown if any charges will be recommended.
