A 56 year old Vernon woman is dead after being struck by a car last evening in the 68 hundred block of Okanagan Landing Road. Police say it happened about 5:15 near the airport, leaving the road closed for some time. They say the 53 year old Vernon man driving was there when they arrived. The RCMP's Gord Molendyk says the driver told them he didn't have a chance to stop.. He says "he was westbound, and suddenly she was in front of him. The
preliminary results of the investigation have determined that alcohol
was not a factor on the part of the driver." Police say light in the area, and the woman's wearing dark clothing
are other factors along with rain and snow mixed at the time.. The RCMP traffic annalist is still investigating as is the coroner..
