A driver is lucky they didn鈥檛 suffer life-threatening injuries after crashing their vehicle at high-speed on bridge hill in West 麻豆精选, according to RCMP.
Around 5 a.m. on Tuesday (July 9) BC Highway Patrol (BCHP) was conducting speed enforcement on the bridge in West 麻豆精选 when a vehicle was observed travelling west at more than 105 km/h in the 60 km/h zone.
Before police could conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle lost control, hit the centre and right medians causing it to flip.
鈥淭hankfully the sole occupant of the vehicle did not suffer any life-threatening injuries,鈥� Inspector Chad Badry with BCHP said in an email. 鈥淭he subsequent investigation found the driver was prohibited from driving under the Motor Vehicle Act.鈥�
Badry added that over the past week BCHP has continued to focus on speed enforcement to try and reduce fatal collisions.
