Lake Country RCMP investigating fatal collision

Lake Country

2025-03-03 16:35 PST

File # 2025-11063

On March 2, 2025 at approximately 10:30 p.m., Lake Country RCMP responded to a single vehicle versus pedestrian collision that occurred on Highway 97 between Pelmewash Parkway and Wall Road. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene while the pedestrian was taken to Kelowna General Hospital where they succumbed to their injuries.

This portion of highway was closed temporarily to allow for an RCMP collision analyst to attend and collect the necessary data, says Cpl. Michael Gauthier Media Relations Officer. The highway has since reopened and we thank the public for their patience.

If any members of the public witnessed or have dash camera footage of the collision and have not yet spoken with police, we are asking them to please come forward and contact the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288 while referencing file number 2025-11063.
