Kamloops RCMP say a 70-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a crash near Tunkwa Lake Road and the Trans Canada Highway, east of Savona on Sunday, May 1.

Const. Crystal Evelyn says the Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP were called around 1:40 p.m. to assist BC EHS crews after reports of a two-vehicle collision involving a truck and motorcycle.

“Members attended and discovered no truck was involved,” Evelyn told NL News. “Further investigation revealed the truck belonged to a bystander who was flagged down and immediately began administering emergency response.

“Sadly, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries on scene.”

Evelyn says the motorcyclist was heading west and rounding a corner when he appeared to have lost control of his vehicle on gravel.

The BC Coroner’s Service is conducting a concurrent investigation.
