Kelowna RCMP and BC Coroners Service are now investigating a collision that killed one in Kelowna over the weekend.

Kelowna Mounties, fire crews and BC Emergency Health Services were called to the intersection of Springfield Road and Burtch Road at around 3 a.m. on Sunday (July 25) for a single-vehicle collision.

When police got to the scene, they found a black Chevrolet Corvette with two occupants. The vehicle had been severely damaged.
