Fort St John, BC – Three people were injured and six vehicles damaged in two crashes that occurred on the Alaska Highway just 90-minutes apart in Fort St. John yesterday…

In the first collision, RCMP say a van ran a red light on the highway and struck a vehicle in the intersection – the impact of the crash pushed the van into another vehicle stopped at the light.  Police say the 31-year-old female driver of the van received minor injures, while her three-year-old passenger was transported to hospital with facial lacerations.  Charges are being considered.

The second collision occurred when the driver of a vehicle failed to stop for a flag person.  RCMP say the vehicle struck a truck turning left in front of it – the momentum of the collision pushed the truck into a third vehicle.  One person was taken to hospital as a result.  Charges are also being considered in this crash under the BC Motor Vehicle Act.
