On February 24, 2017 at approximately 9:45 pm, Kelowna RCMP came across a two vehicle collision in the intersection of Harvey Avenue and Dilworth Drive.
Witnesses at the scene told police a blue Volkswagen Jetta, which had been eastbound on Harvey Avenue, drove through the light at Dilworth Drive and collided with a southbound black Infiniti Q50.
The driver of the Volkswagen, an 18-year-old Kelowna woman, faces potential charges. Her passenger, an 18-year-old Kelowna man, sustained injuries believed to be non-life threatening in nature.
Two of the four occupants of the Infiniti were also transported from the crash scene to hospital with what police believe to be non-life threatening injuries.
“RCMP believe that there are multiple factors which may have contributed to this crash,” says Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey “The ensuing investigation has allowed police to confirm that alcohol is believed to be one of those contributing factors. Investigators also suspect that speed may have also played a role.”
