August 28 – Sept. 4

Traffic traffic incidents, 4 involve deer.
Provincial police said Saturday the crash occurred at about 5:30 p.m. and involved five cars and three motorcycles. Two of the injured were treated at the scene. The third, a woman,was hospitalized with serious injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Jenna (on FB) Watched this accident happen... It was utterly insane, the driver that caused it was driving like a complete psycho, speeding in the opposite lane of traffic to move past a very long line of stopped vehicles approaching the hill, east bound right before CP. The mad man driver passed 20 or more stopped vehicles and then was forced back onto the east bound lane by on coming traffic. An innocent motorcyclist who was sitting at a stop was violently struck by the speeding car before it came to a stop in the oncoming lane of traffic. Thoughts are with the motorcyclist and their family.
