Bond on Predator Turn

Transportation Minister Shirley Bond says she is aware of the ``tragic circumstances'' surrounding the death of a Kelowna woman driver last month at the Predator Ridge turnoff on Highway 97. Thirty-six-year-old Kim Amber Todd of Kelowna was killed last month while turning onto the highway from Predator Ridge. Bond, says she knows of Todd's tragic death and sends her ``sincere condolences'' to the victim's family and friends. Bond tells Astral Radio that she has asked her staff to conduct an engineering safety study of the intersection and will review the outcome of that work. Vernon city councillors said this week that Bond would be asked to visit the area and take a look at the site where there have been dozens of accidents. The minister says she would consider the invitation.
