Lytton RCMP responded to 27 calls for service from Sept. 21 to Oct. 3, including six traffic-related complaints.
Plaque presentation
On Oct. 2, I was invited to attend the Lytton Post Office and be presented with a plaque by Post Master Patsy Weekley.
Patsy had ordered the plaque in support of Canada Post’s new Emergency Responders stamp.
On behalf of the Lytton RCMP, I was honoured to receive the plaque and it is mounted at our front counter.
Three-car collision
On Sept. 28, we attended a three-car collision on the Trans Canada Highway near Spinks Road.
A Kamloops resident struck an elk, sending it into the opposite lane where a Langley resident stopped to avoid the animal. This vehicle was then struck by a Lytton resident.
There were no serious injuries to any occupants.
What was she thinking?
On Sept. 23, while investigating another matter in Spences Bridge, an impaired driver stopped behind a police car and the driver asked what was going on. The 27-year-old woman from Washington State was issued a 30-day roadside prohibition and her new vehicle was impounded.
Communication issues
Recently, we have received several complaints from residents via our personal or work cell phones and even through Facebook.
Please, if you require the police, call 250-455-2225.
If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1. I was on holidays, 12 hours away, and a message was left on my phone. That does not help anybody.
Shift into Winter
We have received a number of complaints recently about rocks on the road. The recent rain may green up your lawn, but it is not good for the stability of the rocks along the highway.
As of Oct. 1, it’s time to Shift into Winter. Snow tires are required on most highways.
Our neighbours to the North have already received significant snowfall.
