Odd accident hospitalizes 1

A chain-reaction accident sent one man to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with undetermined injuries Thursday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to the 1800 block of Kal Lake Road at around 3:15 p.m. after a westbound BMW SUV went off the road and over a small embankment before striking a parked vehicle.

Vernon Fire Rescue Cpt. Brent Bond said the parked car was in turn pushed into a parked truck, striking the driver who was exiting the vehicle.

The man in the truck was conscious when firefighters arrived and Bond said his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

It is not clear why the 'L' driver of the SUV left the road.

There is currently no word on charges stemming from the accident.
