UPDATE: 6 a.m.
RCMP have revealed more details about Monday evening's fatal collision near Peachland.
The crash claimed the life of a 33-year-old Sicamous man.
Police responded to the head-on collision about 6 p.m., on Highway 97 near Brent Road.
According to witnesses, a white Pontiac SUV was travelling northbound when it crossed into the path of a southbound Ford cube van, which had almost no time to react, Const. Steve Holmes said in a press release issued early Tuesday.
The driver of the Pontiac was declared dead at the scene, while the female driver of the cube van, from Penticton, was rushed to Kelowna General Hospital with serious injuries, where she remains in critical but stable condition.
Darkness and heavy rain affected visibility at the time, said Holmes.
"Though police are not yet able to confirm exactly what led to this tragic crash, the RCMP's traffic analyst conducted a thorough scene investigation, which may give us more insights once the analysis is complete," he added.
Any witnesses are asked to call Const. Neid of Central Okanagan Traffic Services at 250-980-5353.
