Highway 101 north
At approximately 1 am a red 1995 Chevrolet pickup was observed travelling under the posted speed limit between Wildwood and Tla’amin (Sliammon) First Nation. The vehicle was stopped. The driver demonstrated signs of alcohol consumption and failed two subsequent breathalysers. As a result the vehicle was impounded for 30 days and the driver’s licence was seized for 90 days.
3. May 1
Dixon Road
In the early morning hours a 1996 Subaru Legacy that was parked on the gravel portion of the road at the Sunshine Coast Trail junction was significantly damaged. It appears that someone purposely rammed the parked vehicle pushing it 30 to 40 feet then drove up on the hood and windshield. The RCMP believes the suspect vehicle was a large possibly raised blue truck.
