Speed is being considered a major factor in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash on Aug. 20 in West Âé¶čAV.
RCMP was called to the scene in the 2100-block of Horizon Drive at around 5:35p.m. when the bike, driven by a 45-year-old Âé¶čAV man, veered off the road and hit a tree.
West Âé¶čAV Fire worked to reach the man at the bottom of a steep embankment, where he was pronounced dead.
âThe Okanagan is a popular place for walking and cycling,â said Cst. Mike Della-Paolera of the Âé¶čAV detachment. âThe RCMP are reminding drivers that speed limits are for everyoneâs safety.â
The manâs family has been notified. Both the BC Coroners Service and the West Âé¶čAV RCMP are still investigating.
Anyone that may have witnessed the motorcycle before the crash are asked to contact RCMP at 250-766-2880.
