An RCMP vehicle ended up as collateral damage following a Friday-night collision in Kamloops.
Just before 11 p.m. on April 16, a car travelling northbound on 8th Street allegedly drove through a yellow light and t-boned a southbound van turning left onto Richmond Avenue.
The force of the crash caused the van to spin and smash into a nearby police cruiser on Richmond Avenue. The van’s engine then caught on fire, which was extinguished by a responding officer.
Two people were taken to hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries. All vehicles were significantly damaged.
The car’s driver was issued a violation ticket for driving without due care and disobeying a traffic control device.
