Two vehicles collided on the Blueberry Paulson Wednesday morning, eight kilometers west of the Nancy Green Junction.
A truck was stopped due to traffic control for a paving operation just after 9 a.m. when a woman driving westbound in a car was unable to stop and collided with the rear of the truck, said Trail RCMP Sgt. Rob Hawton.
Though her car was heavily damaged, the woman driving alone wasn’t hurt from the incident. She is facing charges with driving without due care and attention.

Laurel Mathew. “During the course of his arrest, he assaulted one of the police officers and once in the police vehicle, he damaged the door by kicking it numerous times. When provided the opportunity to provide a breath sample, Street refused.”
