Minor injuries in two-vehicle collision
On June 29, at approximately 5:30 p.m., police and emergency services responded to a collision at the intersection of 2nd St N and Van Horne St N.
A grey Ford pickup truck was westbound on 2nd St N when it rear ended a blue Volkswagon that had stopped to turn right into a parking lot.
The Volkswagon was spun 180 degrees and received major structural damage. The pickup truck continued westbound, crossed Van Horne Street and became wedged between a tree and a lamppost (pictured above). Both occupants of the Volkswagon and the single occupant of the pickup suffered minor injuries and attended East Kootenay Regional Hospital for treatment.
Police are currently investigating but do not believe alcohol to be a factor in the collision, reported Cst. Katie Forgeron of Cranbrook RCMP.
