A 'miracle' he's alive

"It's a miracle the driver is still alive."

That's the reaction of a driver who witnessed a crash between a semi-truck and a Nissan Murano.

Kelowna RCMP say the Nissan driver pulled a U-turn in front of the truck. The truck then sideswiped the SUV, ripping part of the driver's side door right off.

Nobody was injured in the crash that happened Monday afternoon on Highway 97 and Oceola Road in Lake Country.

The Jaws of Life had to be used to get the driver out of the SUV, a 76-year-old Kelowna man.

“This incident serves as an important reminder to all motorists, who are urged to complete legal turns only or use designated U-turn routes to safely change directions on all roadways, especially highways,” says Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.
