A 26-year-old motorcyclist remains in serious, possibly life-threatening condition after a collision Sunday evening in Kelowna.

The collision happened just after 7 p.m. on Highway 33 near Gerstmar Rd. RCMP responded to a 911 call after a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle and a grey sedan.
 
"An orange Honda motorcycle travelling westbound on Highway 33 struck the rear end of a grey sedan as it waited to make a left hand turn onto Gerstmar Road," says Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy, RCMP spokesperson.

The motorcyclist was observed being helped on the roadway by paramedics after being thrown from his bike in the crash.

The motorcycle operator was taken to hospital by BC Emergency Health Services with what is described as serious, potentially life-threatening, injuries.

“This collision is still under investigation, but speed is believed to have been a factor,” said Sgt. Mark Booth of the Kelowna RCMP Traffic Section. “If you witnessed this collision but haven’t spoken to the police yet, we ask that you contact us at 250-762-3300.”
