Police report Driver uninjured
On Dec. 11 at 0:13 p.m., police were called to a single vehicle accident on Highway 97 at Steuart Street. The driver of a 1999 GMC van lost control went into the ditch and ended up on the roof. Police say the driver was shaken, but unhurt. Fresh snow and icy road conditions were factors in the accident, police say.
Truck damaged
On Dec. 14 at 9:40 a.m., a Ford pickup truck rear-ended a garbage truck on Sumac Ridge Drive at Highway 97. Police say the garbage truck was stopped at the stop sign when the driver of the pickup truck was unable to stop. There were no injuries but there was significant damage to the pickup truck.
Trailer damaged
On Dec. 7, youths gathered at a Summerland home for a party. A teenage boy was evicted from the party. Police say he then hit the side of a travel trailer with his fist, putting dents into the siding. Police are continuing their investigation
Winter driving
Police have attended numerous minor accidents over the past week, following snowy and icy road conditions. Cpl. Bruce Haley of the Summerland RCMP detachment said motorists need to slow down when conditions are slippery, even if the posted speed limit allows faster travel.
