A local man has been charged following a Tuesday morning driving incident that RCMP is calling “bizarre.”
Just before 7:30, RCMP got a call of a hit & run along Highway 97.
Minutes later, Police received a call of a southbound vehicle causing sparks along the highway.
Upon arrival, Police found a severely damaged service truck in a ditch near Highway 97 and Chestnut Drive. The vehicle only had 3 tires (which police believe caused the sparks).

· Drive without Due Care and Attention
