Westsyde residents and workers worry about high speeds
KAMLOOPS — It was just before midnight Monday when a 36-year-old man was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Westsyde Rd. and 8th St. He later died in hospital.
Witnesses to the collision told police the driver was speeding, which is a common occurrence on the well-traveled road.
“People in general drive fast, the buses drive fast, everybody drives fast on Westsyde Rd.,” said Steve Delaney, president of the Westsyde Community Development Society.
Delaney is one of many Westsyde residents with safety concerns over the busy stretch of road.
