Police are looking for information after fatal highway crashes on Friday in Kamloops and Lillooet.
A motorcyclist was killed in the incident in Kamloops after hitting a deer before falling off the bike and being hit by “one or more vehicles,” according to RCMP Traffic Services. The incident happened on the Trans-Canada Highway heading westbound, just east of the Lafarge Road exit, and police had been called to the scene at about 9:45 p.m.
“It is believed that the drivers of vehicles that struck the rider may not have realized that they had done so,” police say.
About two hours later, just before midnight, a driver was killed along Highway 99 about two kilometers south of Lillooet in a single-vehicle crash, after plunging into the BC Hydro canal at Seton Lake.
Police say the driver lost control around a curve and veered into the water. There were four people in the vehicle, but Mounties say the three passengers escaped the vehicle.
The identities of both fatal crash victims has not been provided, and further details of the crash scenes are not known.
Anyone with details on the crash in Kamloops is asked to call RCMP at 250-828-3111, and those with information on the incident near Lillooet are asked to call police at 250-453-2216.
