Lake Country man seriously injured in head-on Monday

West Kelowna man still in critical condition by Monday afternoon.

A 42 year old West Kelowna man is in critical condition and a 50 year old Lake Country man suffered serious injuries after a head-on collision early Monday morning.

On April 22, at 4:40 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a multiple vehicle collision on Glenmore Road near Slater Road.

The two vehicles had apparently struck head-on and the northbound driver from West Kelowna was trapped in his vehicle.

The other driver was found to be walking around the scene and appeared dazed from the impact.

The Kelowna Fire Department extricated the West Kelowna man from his vehicle and both men were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. The West Kelowna man was still in critical condition later Monday, while the Lake Country man suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The road was blocked while police conducted a scene survey. Analysis of the data was not by Monday afternoon, but speed and wet road conditions appear to have been factors in the crash.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Central Okanagan Traffic Services, Cst Doane at 250-980-5353.
