One person was airlifted to hospital after a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) rollover Wednesday near Coldstream.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP responded to reports of a single-vehicle rollover on Noble Canyon Road, about one kilometre from Highway 6, around 12:30 p.m. Sept. 29.
Initial investigation determined the Arctic Cat UTV failed to negotiate a sharp turn and left the road, rolling several times before coming to a rest in a ditch.
The two occupants were able to free themselves and call 911.
The driver, a 20-year-old man, was airlifted by BC Ambulance Services with serious life-threatening injuries.
His passenger, an 18-year-old woman, was taken by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.
The collision remains under investigation.
