Kamloops RCMP say the truck involved in a fatal collision at 1st Avenue and Battle Street was speeding and failed to stop at a stop sign, when it hit a car on 1st Avenue and killed two people.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says police have now identified the alleged driver of the truck, but did not describe the suspect or say if it is the truck’s owner, who was arrested and released without charge earlier in the week.

“It’ll be a while before we can review all of the evidence and consider laying criminal charges,” she said.

Two of the people in the car – Daniel Okocha and David Adebowale – were killed as a result of the crash, while one other person is still in hospital. The fourth person in the car is now out of hospital. The four were all students or alumni at Thompson Rivers University.

Shelkie says police are looking to speak to a woman who may have witnessed the crash prior to the arrival of emergency crews.

Shelkie says this woman is about five-foot-seven, 140 pounds with brown hair in a pony tail, and was wearing dark clothes at the time. She is believed to have walked away alone north on 1st Avenue.

“If this is you, or you know who this person is, please contact the Kamloops RCMP,” said Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay. “We are interested in speaking with everyone who was present at the collision before emergency crews arrived. This is a routine step in ensuring that all possible witnesses are spoken to as soon after the event as possible.”

Police say several businesses and citizens have come forward to help with the investigation both with information and security video.

RCMP are appealing for any dash cam footage between 1:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. in the areas of Victoria Street, 4th Avenue North of Victoria Street, Battle Street between 5th Avenue and Lee Road, and all residential streets around the Guerin Creek area.
