File # #2022-3486
On Friday, August 12, 2022, at 6:40 a.m. Trail and Greater District RCMP, Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue, and EHS responded to single motor vehicle incident in the 1000 block of Highway 3B, in Montrose, BC.
The investigating officers believe that a 41-year-old Fruitvale woman was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt westbound when she suddenly veered off the road and hit a power pole, bringing the vehicle to an abrupt stop. Fatigue may have been a factor in the cause of the incident. The woman was allegedly prohibited from driving a vehicle in BC at the time of the crash. An officer arrested and released the woman at the scene of the incident.
EHS transported her passenger, a 35-year-old Trail man, with non-life-threatening injuries to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for a medical assessment.
Trail RCMP will recommend that Crown Counsel approved one count of Drive with Prohibited contrary to Section 95 of the BC Motor Vehicle Act against the 41-year-old Fruitvale woman. She will make her first appearance on September 15, 2022, in Provincial Court, in Rossland, BC.
