A serious crash Monday night on Highway 33
So the report said
So I can only guess that distracted driving or a mechanical failure are one of the plausible causes?
I hope everyone involved have a speedy recovery.
Neither speed, nor alcohol are believed to be factors in the crash and both vehicles were equipped with good winter tires.

Correct.
You have to keep an open mind until it is proven one way or the other. You just can't take the T.V. or internet word on it.

Re: A serious crash Monday night on Highway 33
I believe that the vehicular conflict arose at the always dangerous Goudie Road intersection.
Local residents have complained repeatedly for decades about the dangers of turning left while facing speeding oncoming traffic on a blind corner, and while the road was recently repaved, the Ministry neglected to improve the safety at all. In fact, they didn't even repave the left turn lane, leaving it a horrible bumpy broken pavement disaster waiting to happen.
Always a shame that the new BC Liberal road maintenance and safety policies wait for fatalities before changes are considered.
But then Joe Rich isn't West Kelowna, is it?

How does a bumpy left turn lane make turning left more dangerous? Shouldn't drivers be crawling, watching for oncoming traffic?

Are you freaking kidding me with a comment like that. There is a very nice young man in very serious condition as a result of this horrific accident. Distracted driving was NOT a factor in this accident. This is a young hard working guy waaas heading home. He is now in Vancouver with his family by his side. It is going to be a long road to recovery. I wish him well.

Re: A serious crash Monday night on Highway 33
Unlike anyone who has posted here so far, I was actually at the scene.
Firstly, Goudie Road has nothing to do with anything. The crash happened a kilometer west of that intersection. Both vehicles were travelling on 33 when it happened.
According to witnesses on the sceen and the layout of the accident, it was evident that the driver of the green car crossed the line in front of the oncoming Ram. He didn't stand a chance.
Why he did that, we do not know and I won't make any wild guesses. I'm sure your imaginations can take it from here.
I wish everyone well.
