A vehicle was observed travelling in excess of the posted speed limit and clocked on radar at 50 km/h over the posted speed limit.

The vehicle was stopped and the driver was identified. A charge of excessive speed was issued to a 35-year-old Prince George man. The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days.

 

Following too close

On March 12, 100 Mile House RCMP and 100 Mile House Traffic Services responded to a three-vehicle incident on Highway 97 at the Horse Lake Intersection.

The driver of a blue Honda Civic and a red Toyota sports utility vehicle were stopped in the fast lane at the north bound red light. The driver of a red GMC Envoy, which was following in the fast lane, struck the rear of the Toyota, which then impacted the rear of the Honda Civic that was, in turn, pushed into the intersection.

All of the parties were transported to hospital by ambulance where they were treated and released. All three vehicles received significant damage and were towed from the scene.

The female driver of the GMC Envoy was issued a violation ticket for following too close.
