100 Mile RCMP responded to 61 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Unfortunate incident
Around 8 p.m. on Feb. 22, 100 Mile House RCMP were called to a two-vehicle collision on Green Lake Road North near Watch Lake.
Investigation determined a south bound Toyota pickup truck had been stopped in the lane while the driver and passenger were trying to load snowmobiles onto an attached trailer.
The driver of a Ford Explorer was travelling north on the road when she came over the hill and impacted the snowmobile trailer.
There was considerable damage to the Ford Explorer but no one was injured. Charges were not laid in this instance because of the adverse driving conditions and the lack of independent physical evidence.
Drinking driver
Shortly after midnight on the Feb. 24, 100 Mile House RCMP observed a vehicle with a defective muffler pull into the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at the intersection of First Street and Highway 97 in 100 Mile House.
Police went to speak with the driver who displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor. An approved screening device was administered at the location and the result was a fail.
The driver requested a second sample, which was also a fail. The driver, an 18-year-old resident of Chilliwack, met the criteria and was subsequently administered a 90-day Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition.
The vehicle was towed from the scene and impounded.
