It appears to be a case of road rage gone horribly wrong.
Salmon Arm RCMP are investigating an incident where a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Aug. 21 at approximately 7:30 p.m.
The 30-year-old man was hit by a westbound vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway near 5th Street SW.
He was taken to hospital in serious condition and his current condition is not known.
Salmon Arm RCMP report the man was driving on Lakeshore Drive, paralleling a second vehicle that was eastbound on the Trans-Canada Highway.
The man was reported to be upset after having a horn honked at his vehicle by the driver of the second vehicle.
The driver of that second vehicle stopped at 5th Street SW on the Trans-Canada Highway. Upon seeing the vehicle stopped on the highway, the 30-year-old man stopped on Lakeshore Drive and got out of his vehicle.
Police believe, based on witness accounts, that the man crossed the westbound lane of the highway on foot in an apparent attempt to confront the other driver.
While doing so, he was struck by a westbound vehicle.
The man was tended to at the scene by BC Ambulance paramedics before he was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital.
