Refuse to blow
On Feb. 12, 100 Mile Traffic Services stopped a vehicle on Highway 97 in 100 Mile House, as the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
The driver demonstrated symptoms of being impaired by alcohol. The male driver failed the approved roadside-screening device at the scene.
He was transported to the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment offices, where he subsequently refused to provide breath samples. The driver was held in cells until sober and released with a court date in May. Charges of impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample have been recommended to Crown against a 51-year-old resident of Kitwanga.
Out of control
On Feb. 10, 100 Mile RCMP and 100 Mile Traffic Services responded to a two-vehicle collision at 101 Mile on Highway 97, north of 100 Mile House.
The driver of a southbound vehicle lost control and impacted a vehicle travelling northbound in the slow lane. The three occupants of the northbound vehicle suffered non-life threatening injuries, were taken to hospital by ambulance and were subsequently released.
The driver of the southbound vehicle was not injured. He was determined to not have a valid driver’s licence and was charged appropriately under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The damage to both vehicles is believed to be in excess of $3,000.
