Pedestrian hit crossing road

First responders were called to the scene of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in West Kelowna on Tuesday evening.

Two people tried crossing Highway 97 near the Home Depot when one person was struck by a brown SUV travelling south.

That person rolled up onto the hood of the vehicle, smashing the windshield, and was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries

The second person, who did not appear to be injured, was arrested at the scene by police.

Authorities are still investigating.

There is no crosswalk where the incident took place, and no charges are expected to be laid against the driver.

We’ll have more details when they become available.
