What could have been a scary-looking accident involving a person in a wheelchair was narrowly avoided in Kelowna last week.
Dashcam footage shows a busy, snowy and congested intersection in Rutland where a person in a wheelchair starts to cross the street, but as the light turns to green cars begin to go through the intersection without seeing the crossing pedestrian and coming within inches to hitting the wheelchair.
