How a man came to lie in the middle of Highway 3 near Osoyoos continues to be under investigation by local police. 

The Osoyoos RCMP stated in a press release that they had initially been called for a possible hit-and-run on the 7700 Block of Highway 3 at 10:53 p.m. on June 22.

Surveillance footage during the investigation, so far, shows the man was not hit by a vehicle.
