No injuries during car accident

Vehicle went through a fence off Commonage Road near Bench Row Road

Nobody was apparently injured in a single-vehicle accident Saturday night on the outskirts of Vernon.

Police received a report shortly before 6:30 p.m. that a black Pontiac Vibe had gone down the embankment and through a fence off Commonage Road near Bench Row Road.

“The caller advised that there was no one in the vehicle,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“Police attended and found the vehicle on its side and still running. There was no indication of any injuries.”

Police spoke to the registered owner of the Vibe who advised her granddaughter and her boyfriend were driving the vehicle.

“She was able to contact them and confirmed that both were OK,” said Molendyk. “They had been picked up by a passing motorist.”

Police advised the owner where the car was and to contact a tow company.
