Two local businesses bore the brunt of vehicle damage last week.
On Feb. 24, 2012 at 12:09 p.m., Burns Lake RCMP officers responded to an accident at the New Leaf Cafe. A red 2006 Dodge Ram from Calgary was traveling East on Hwy. 16 and ran off the road into the store front causing significant damage. No pedestrians or patrons were injured. RCMP determined that speed and slippery road conditions were factors in the collision. The adult male driver, who was the lone occupant in the vehicle, was issued a violation ticket.
Also last week a local elderly resident accidently reversed into the Lakeview Dental Centre damaging the interior and exterior walls of the office. Both businesses are are stillopen for business.
