Heavy fog in the 100 Mile House area kept RCMP busy last week. On January 13th, Sargeant Brian Lamb said police received several calls of vehicles that had left the roadway including a report of a single vehicle collision on Highway 97 near Canim Hendrix Lake Road. Lamb said police and Emergency Health Services attended and found a vehicle in the ditch. The driver reported driving through heavy fog at the time that restricted visibility and couldn’t see the Highway resulting in the vehicle going off road and into the ditch. Lamb said the driver was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries believed to be minor.
