Woman hit by car on Highway 97

A 29-year-old Kelowna woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries after being hit on Highway 97 near Lake Country.

Police said a 1999 Acura hit the woman about 9 p.m. Thursday near Voyager RV.

The car continued without stopping and its elderly driver soon after alerted family of his concern for possibly having struck something on the highway, police said.

A family member promptly attended the vicinity, located the injured pedestrian and called 911. The driver has cooperated fully with the investigation and the vehicle seized for examination.

No charges have been laid, but this investigation is ongoing.
