100 Mile RCMP responded to 86 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Excessive speed
There were three vehicles stopped for excessive speed during the past week by 100 Mile Traffic Services.
All of these incidents occurred on Highway 97 south of 100 Mile House. The speeds ranged from 47 to 55 km/h over the posted speed limit.
The vehicles were towed and impounded for seven days. The three vehicle operators were from outside the 100 Mile House area and were charged with excessive speed.
Roadside prohibition
On Oct. 7, 100 Mile RCMP were called to a residence on Dogwood Avenue in 100 Mile House, as a male driver had driven his Chevrolet Uplander Van onto the complainant's lawn.
The driver displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor. An approved roadside screening device was administered and the result was a fail. He requested a second sample, which was also a fail.
The driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition. The vehicle was towed from the lawn and impounded for 30 days.
ATV incident
100 Mile Traffic Services and 100 Mile RCMP are investigating a collision that occurred on Oct. 6 just before 8 p.m. on Timothy Lake Road.
From the preliminary witness information, it appears an ATV with an operator aboard was being towed by another vehicle. The towed ATV either rolled over or impacted a hard surface resulting in severe injuries to the male operator.
The Greeny Lake Volunteer Fire Department and BC Ambulance Service personnel were dispatched. First aid was provided to the ATV operator until he was transported to the 100 Mile District General Hospital.
He was stabilized and transported by air ambulance to Royal Inland Hospital with severe, life-threatening injuries. The Criminal Crash Investigation Team has assumed the investigation.
Anyone who may have been a witness to this collision is requested to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment at 250-395-2456 and quote file 2012-3165.
