Rash of Accidents

By 250 News

A rash of road accidents kept Prince George RCMP busy late yesterday.

It started with the roll over of a semi on Blackwater Road near Lynx Lake Road around  4:30.  A  tractor trailer unit loaded with chips missed the curve, crossed the road and rolled.  The driver was not on the scene when police arrived.  

A little over an hour later,  on the Blackwater Road, a  Dodge Caravan rolled, the driver taken to hospital  with minor injuries.

There was a crash at the intersection of the Old Cariboo Highway and Highway 16.  An empty logging truck and  pickup  collided when the logging truck tried to turn left and a pickup travelling straight through the intersection clipped the  logging truck's front bumper.  No one seriously hurt, but the pickup sustained extensive damage.

Just before 6:00 . a single vehicle crash happened on Michael Road near Edgewood Terrace.  The vehicle had rolled and landed on its roof.  The driver managed to get out of the vehicle and get to a nearby home where an ambulance was called to attend to the driver's injuries.

About 7:30 last night, a cyclist on Victoria Street was struck by a motorist. A witness to the  crash at Victoria and 17th says a 2 door black import car was  involved.  The cyclist was not seriously hurt, the investigation continues.

The last call involved a single vehicle crash east of Prince George on highway 16.  The driver of a Ford 150 truck called police to advise he had lost control of his vehilce and put it in the ditch.  No one hurt, police still investigating that one.
