An 83-year-old Kelowna woman has succumbed to her injuries after she was struck at the intersection of KLO Road and Richter Street on Tuesday.

On Nov. 24 at 11:19 a.m., RCMP Central Okanagan Traffic Services responded to a pedestrian versus motor vehicle incident.

The woman was struck by a vehicle driven by a 72-year-old Kelowna woman, who was attempting a left turn onto Richter and didn't see the victim in the marked crosswalk.

The gold Hyundai was turning left from the westbound lane of KLO into the southbound lane of Richter.

“The driver attempted the left turn and collided with the pedestrian, knocking her to the ground,” says Cpl. Joe Duncan. “The pedestrian received serious injuries and was transferred to Kelowna General Hospital. Sadly, the 83-year-old Kelowna woman has died from injuries she sustained from the collision.”

RCMP Central Okanagan Traffic Services and the RCMP Traffic Reconstructionist continue to assist the BC Coroner Service in the investigation.

Witnesses are asked to call Const. Marion at 250-980-5353.
