Police, CVSE investigating overturned truck on Clifton Road in Kelowna

A semi-truck and trailer that overturned on Clifton Road on Wednesday morning is being investigated, say Kelowna RCMP.

Police say the accident happened just before 8:55 a.m., at the intersection of Clifton Road and High Road, resulting in a road closure.

Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) is also investigating, according to police.

RCMP say witnesses reported a white semi-truck and trailer was executing a southbound turn onto Clifton Road from High Road when it flipped onto its side.

The driver was uninjured while a passenger was transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

“The scene of the collision was closed for several hours as investigators from Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Services and CVSE collected evidence to assist in determining the cause of the collision,” said Const. Solana Paré,

“Our traffic services investigators are urging eyewitnesses to the crash, to the previous movements of the semi-truck and trailer involved or to the operator’s driving behaviour prior to the collision to immediately come forward and speak with police.”
