The Kelowna RCMP is investigating a fatal single vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 97 and Burtch Road which occurred at approximately 10:30 pm on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
“The victim was a 43-year-old male living in Kelowna at the time of the collision,” says Corporal Steven Lang, Kelowna RCMP Media Relations Officer. “We offer our condolences to the family.”
An RCMP reconstructionist was called to the scene to assist with examining and documenting the scene. Impairment and speed are both believed to have contributed to the cause of the collision.
"We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the individuals who stopped to render assistance at the scene,” continued Corporal Lang. “If you have been affected by this incident and require support, please contact the detachment. Our Victim Services team is available to provide compassionate and professional assistance during this difficult time."
This is an ongoing investigation and the RCMP is asking any members of the public who have yet to talk to police but may have dashcam video of the collision to please contact the Kelowna RCMP General Investigation Section at 250-762-3300 and reference the file number 2026-10888.
