Medical event may have precipitated Windermere collision

Witnesses reported the driver of a Hyundai Sonata crossed the centre line and struck a parked vehicle before pulling off to the side of the road. The driver was assessed by ambulance paramedics and transported to the Invermere & District Hospital, as it was believed a medical event might have precipitated the collision.
