Boucherie rollover

One man was transported to Kelowna General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries following a single vehicle crash on Boucherie Road Friday afternoon.

The crash occurred shortly before 2:30 on a stretch of road between Green Bay Road and Pritchard Drive.

Police on the scene say speed appears to have been a factor in the crash.

"He appears to have lost control about 100 metres south of here, went onto the shoulder, crossed the centerline and went off road left," says Cst. John Brown.

"He hit the ditch and that's what caused it to flip over."

Witnesses at the scene say the driver (and lone occupant) of the later model Mustang was able to free himself and crawl out.

While the vehicle is structurally still in good shape, Brown says the fiberglass and plastic construction broke apart as it usually does in a crash such as this.

Boucherie Road was closed in both directions while crews removed the vehicle and cleaned up glass and debris.
