Police are investigating after a man was found injured and laying on Highway 3, Osoyoos.

On June 22, 2024 at 10:53 p.m., Osoyoos RCMP responded to what was initially reported as a possible pedestrian hit and run in the 7700 block of Highway 3, Osoyoos. Witnesses described finding a man laying in the roadway and described a white vehicle leaving the scene.
