Christopher Bocskei, who is running for Kelowna city council, tells Castanet he was awakened by a loud noise from the street outside his home on McCurdy Rd. shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday. “My wife and I were woken up from bed by a very loud crash steps away from our house, two trucks collided with one overturning the other.” Bocskei says he trained as a first responder and maintains his first aid credentials, so when he heard about the crash he jumped into action. “As a first aider, I ran out of the house, found the victims. luckily no one was seriously injured. What struck me was the number of people who had come out to help. Neighbors were clearing debris from the road and someone was sweeping the glass, it was a community effort. After confirming that no one was seriously injured, I went out to direct traffic,” says Bocskei. The crash appears to have been caused by a vehicle that pulled into traffic from a residence and collided with another vehicle that sustained side damage. Bocskei says emergency crews responded quickly and he didn’t believe any of the injuries were serious.
