ENDERBY - A man is dead following a car crash on a rural road in the North Okanagan earlier this week.

Shortly after 4:40 p.m. Monday, June 18, emergency crews responded to a single vehicle roll over collision in the 2800 block of Enderby Mabel Lake Road in the small community of Hupel, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Yannick Lescarbeau says in a media release.

The vehicle was travelling west and failed to properly negotiate a curb, which caused the driver to lose control before striking a tree and rolling several times into an embankment, Lescarbeau says. The two occupants were transported to nearby hospitals with serious injuries.

An RCMP Collision Analyst attended the scene to investigate the cause of the collision and investigators interviewed several witnesses.

“We are now investigating a fatal collision as unfortunately, the 59-year-old passenger did not recover from his injuries and died in hospital,” Lescarbeau says.

Police say the man is from Armstrong and the cause of the collision remains under investigation.
