File # 2022-10332

RCMP investigation of a two vehicle collision led police to an allegedly impaired driver.

Around 10:15 p.m. on March 25, 2022 Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of a collision in the 9000-block of Ashwell Road involving a grey Hyundai with a white Ford pickup truck. As police conducted their investigation, officers noted symptoms of impairment in the 19-year-old woman from Chilliwack allegedly operating the Hyundai.

Police detained and later released the woman from custody.

Following a thorough investigation and review of evidence gathered, the RCMP will forward all circumstances to the investigation in a report to the BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) for their assessment of impaired driving charges.

If you choose to consume alcohol or marihuana leave your vehicle at home and arrange for a safe ride, said Corporal Mike Rail spokesperson for the UFVRD. Fortunately no one was injured in the collision. RCMP are committed to removing impaired drivers from our roadways.
