A woman in 100 Mile House was taken to the hospital following an incident with a suspected impaired driver.
Sergeant Brian Lamb says police, BC EHS, and BC Highway Patrol received multiple calls of a vehicle incident on Canim Hendrix Lake Road near Rainbow Road on July 9.
Lamb says General Duty Officers and the Highway Patrol found and determined the woman had jumped from a moving vehicle. They located the vehicle and driver on the Canim Hendrix Lake Road.
“An adult male was detained for suspected impaired driving by drug,” says Lamb. “Testing on the male by a Drug Recognition Expert with the BC Highway Patrol was completed, which included a urine sample for drug analysis.”
The male was later released, but the vehicle was impounded while the investigation is ongoing.
Lamb says the woman was taken to the hospital with what EHS determined were minor injuries.
