North Okanagan Traffic Services and the Vernon RCMP continue to investigate the fatal motor vehicle accident that happened at about 10:30 a.m. Monday south of Highway 97 on Westside Road. RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says police and the coroners department are still trying to piece together what happened. “Police are able to say the victim is a male. They are having some difficulty identifying the person, as there is no identification associated with him at this time,” says Molendyk. He says it is too early to determine the exact cause of the accident. “Investigators are looking at all factors including weather, speed and vehicle condition. They will likely also have to wait for toxicology results in this case as well.”
