Improper turn
On Jan. 5, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a two-vehicle incident on Highway 97 at the intersection of Second Street in 100 Mile House.
A Toyota Matrix and a Dodge pickup truck were northbound on Highway 97. The driver of the Dodge pickup turned left from the slow lane across the fast lane to get into a hotel. The driver of the Toyota Matrix was unable to stop as the truck crossed his lane.
The Toyota Matrix impacted the pickup, causing extensive damage. The Toyota Matrix was towed from the scene.
One occupant of the Toyota Matrix suffered minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to hospital. The driver of the pickup truck was charged with a Motor Vehicle Act violation of turning left from the incorrect lane.
Rollover incident
Shortly after 9 a.m. on Jan. 4, emergency services were called to a single-vehicle incident on Highway 97 just north of the Lac la Hache transfer station.
The driver of a GMC pickup lost traction on the highway, fishtailed and then went across the oncoming lane resulting in the vehicle rolling into the ditch. All three occupants of the vehicle managed to get out of the vehicle and suffered only minor abrasions.
They declined the offer to attend the hospital, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
Quiet yuletide
