A pedestrian struck by a passing vehicle near Grindrod has died, say RCMP.
John Thomas, a 59-year-old Enderby resident, was walking or hitchhiking on Highway 97A when a large vehicle - likely a truck - knocked him to the ground by Grandview Bench Road after dark Nov. 9. He died in Kelowna General Hospital 10 days later.
Doctors found numerous head and upper-body injuries consistent with getting struck by a pickup or commercial truck, RCMP said. It's not clear whether he was facing traffic or had his back turned.
Thomas had family in Enderby and was not homeless, police said.
