On Thursday evening at 11:20 pm Vernon RCMP were called to attend a single vehicle accident on 39th Ave at 17th Street in Vernon's East Hill. A 28 year old Vernon male was the lone rider of a 2006 Suzuki Sport Bike which was eastbound on 39th Ave approaching 17th Street at very high speed. At the scene of the crash on 39th Ave is completely blocked off for construction work. The Sport bike failed to slow in time to avoid the construction site barricades and crashed into the work side at high speed. The rider was ejected form the bike and was thrown into the construction site where he suffered significant injury. He was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he died a short while later. A major cause of the crash was excess speed. It is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved. The crash is still under investigation.
