A cyclist was killed in Oliver, Wednesday afternoon, after being struck by a vehicle.
Witnesses at the scene describe a newer model, unregistered and uninsured, Chevrolet Impala driven by a 37-year-old Oliver man, heading south on Tucelnuit Drive when, for unknown reasons, it veered right, traveling along the paved shoulder and struck a south bound cyclist.

Bikes get their own on-street parking
Two parking spaces have been removed from downtown Kelowna and replaced with bicycle racks.
Gio Bean, a popular coffee house, put in a request to the City for extra bike racks outside the business as more and more patrons were opting to peddle on two wheels instead of driving on four when coming for a 'cup of joe.'
