Fatal Penticton car crash death of Ava Choy
Ava Choy, a well-known individual, was confirmed as the person involved in a serious accident during the Okanagan Granfondo event on July 13.
Her background highlights a deep commitment to helping others and staying active. From a young age, she was involved in various activities, including martial arts competitions and, more recently, cycling.
According to her official notice, she was admired for her volunteer efforts in elementary school. One account mentioned she received a helicopter tour of the city as recognition for her work.
Described as someone with a fiery spirit, Choy had only started cycling a short time ago. She was part of a group of enthusiasts in the Lower Mainland, often cycling with her sibling.
The incident occurred on White Lake Road near Penticton while she was taking part in the Granfondo ride. Two other cyclists were also involved and suffered injuries, but details about the event remain unclear.
Law enforcement has begun an inquiry into the matter. A fundraising campaign has been launched by someone connected to her family to assist with arrangements for her memorial.
