Call for help on hiking trail

Police are investigating after a man was heard yelling for help in West Kelowna on Wednesday.

A man and woman were hiking along Purple Trail in the Rose Valley area when they heard a bicycle crash and a man yelling for help.

Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, paramedics, police and West Kelowna Fire Department all arrived just after noon.

An extensive ground search was conducted and also an aerial search, but nothing was found.

“Considering the possibility that the individual we are continuing to look for may have left the area under their own strength, police are appealing to the public for information,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact West Kelowna RCMP.
