The province is looking at possible changes to an area that stretches five kilometres along Highway 97 from Duck Lake to Lodge Road in Lake Country.

Highway 97 was briefly blocked but was quickly reopened to alternating traffic.

Police say the driver was fined for excessive speeding and that his higher-end Volkswagen was impounded.

Police are seeking witnesses to any "pre-collision driving" of the blue Honda Civic as it travelled south on Highway 97 between Peachland and Summerland last Thursday afternoon.

The petition starts off stating “people are being injured and dying on a particular section of Highway 97 between Summerland and Peachland.”

The passenger in the sedan was killed, while the driver sustained serious injuries.

The incident happened between Callan Road and North Beach Road, but the highway was reopened to traffic around 4 p.m.

DriveBC is reporting that the slide is five kilometres south of Okanagan Falls.

Police say when travelling during winter, have a full tank of gas, along with an emergency kit and food in case of lengthy delays.

The highway closure is just south of Beaver Lake Road, according to Kelowna RCMP.
