Thanks to strong collaboration between BC Highway Patrol, RCMP “C” Division, and the Sûreté du Québec, a man has been arrested in relation to a fatal hit-and-run collision that occurred near Oliver.

On June 15, 2025, BC Highway Patrol responded to a single-vehicle incident in which a 22-year-old male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near the Cassini Winery south of Oliver. The pedestrian died at the scene, and the driver who hit him did not stay at the scene.

Public tips and investigative efforts subsequently led to the identification of a suspect.

On June 5, 2026, BC Prosecution Service approved one charge against Dominic Kavanagh Latreille:

• Failing to remain at the scene of a collision, section 320.16(3) of the Criminal Code.

On October 14, 2026, Kavanagh Latreille was arrested in Drummondville by the RCMP with the assistance of the Sûreté du Québec. Kavanagh Latreille appeared in court on October 15, 2026, and was remanded in custody. The BC Sheriffs transported Kavanagh Latreille back to British Columbia for court.
