KELOWNA SEMI
TRUCK DRIVER CRASHES INTO BUILDING IN SALMON ARM, BRITISH COLUMBIA AND FLEES
SALMON ARM, BRITISH COLUMBIA – A Kelowna semi truck
driver is facing charges after a crash that involved a building. It was
around 9 p.m. Monday when police received reports of alarms at the Great
Canadian Oil Change building on the Trans Canada Highway in Salmon Arm.
Police say a semi truck had crashed into the building
causing several thousand dollars in damage. Mounties say instead of
reporting the incident, the semi driver began driving east on the highway.
Police caught up to the semi a short time later and arrested the
59-year-old driver. He’s now facing charges related to failing to remain
at the scene.
