Collision

On July 1, police and emergency crews responded to a collision between a car and motorcycle near Lac des Roches on Highway 24.

The motorcycle operator was attempting to pass a slower vehicle when it impacted the rear of a vehicle turning into a driveway.

The two occupants of the motorcycle were taken to 100 Mile Hospital with minor injuries.

The occupants of the other vehicle were not injured.

Assault with a pipe

On July 1, 100 Mile RCMP were called to the 100 Mile House Hospital to meet with two people who reported that they had been assaulted with a pipe at an apartment on Cedar Avenue.

A male and female suspect were identified and arrested shortly afterwards.

The female suspect was released on a number of conditions with a court date on Sept. 12 in 100 Mile House.

The male was also charged with having a prohibited weapon and was remanded to court in Williams Lake for a court date of July 4.

The parties were known to one another. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

Impaired driving

On July 1, 100 Mile RCMP stopped a 1994 Nissan Sentra for speeding on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road near Jones Road. The male driver from the Lower Mainland displayed symptoms of liquor consumption.

An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a “fail.”

A second test was administered and the result was also a “fail.”

The driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition and his vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Collision

On June 30, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a collision between two tractor-trailer units in 100 Mile House.

The first transport truck was turning onto Highway 97 from Wrangler Way and made a wide turn which impacted a second transport truck which was southbound on Highway 97.

The impacted vehicle continued south without stopping so it is doubtful the driver felt the impact.

No charges are being pursued in this incident.

Rear-ended

On June 30, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle being operated in an erratic fashion on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road.

The vehicle had then rear-ended a vehicle which was turning into a driveway.

Investigation determined that the male driver of a 2002 Suzuki had been falling asleep at the wheel and had subsequently hit a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox.

Both vehicles had left the roadway.

Neither driver was injured from the collision.

Both vehicles were towed.

Charges are not being contemplated at this time.

Excessive speeding

On June 28, Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services stopped a vehicle for being operated 56 km/h over the speed limit on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road.
