“Evidence and witness accounts indicated that the driver of the smaller car had deliberately crashed into the pick-up and pushed it off the highway and onto a curb,” says Cst. Jennifer Cooper.

“The truck was occupied by an adult male driver and an adult female passenger. A number of vehicles traveling on the highway at the time had to abruptly brake to avoid being a part of the incident.”

RCMP later determined that the incident was the result of a dispute between the drivers. The drivers escaped injury however a female passenger received minor injuries.

Cooper says that drugs, including alcohol, were not believed to been a factor in this incident.
