The driver of a motorcycle involved in a two-vehicle collision died Friday at Foothills Hospital in Calgary due to complications from a massive head injury.
According to police, the collision happened in the early afternoon on Wednesday, June 24.
Colin Adachi, a resident of Cranbrook, was in the process of turning left from the acceleration lane of Cranbrook Street North when a white mini-van, making a let-hand turn onto Cranbrook Street North from the Tamarack Mall parking lot, struck the motorcycle.
The 38-year-old Adachi was taken to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital before being air lifted to the Foothills Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on June 26.
The Alberta Medical Examiner’s Office will be conducting an autopsy and will be working in conjunction with the local coroner of the British Columbia Coroner’s Service.
