Pemberton RCMP are investigating after a driver reportedly caused thousands of dollars in damage to a school field last week, according to a release.
At approximately 10:40 a.m. last Tuesday, Nov. 10. Mounties were notified that a vehicle “driven in a reckless manner” had damaged the field in the 7500 block of Pemberton Meadows Road.
Police said a pickup or SUV had driven onto the field the previous evening, “doing ‘donuts’ in the fresh fallen snow,” the release said.
“While the driver may have felt this harmless fun, in fact, the vehicle has caused several thousand dollars in damage to the field, which will need to be fixed before it can be used again,” police said.
Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the detachment at 604-894-6634, or Sea to Sky Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
No injuries following four-car collision on Hwy. 99
Whistler and Pemberton police continue to investigate a four-car pile-up that resulted in no injuries last week, but snarled traffic on the Sea to Sky Highway.
At about 5 p.m. last Thursday, Nov. 12, RCMP responded to a report of a collision in the 7000 block of Highway 99, at Suicide Hill.
Investigators have since learned that a northbound vehicle lost control due to weather and road conditions before colliding with a highway barrier, becoming stuck. Two other northbound vehicles then collided trying to avoid the first, before pulling to the side of the road. A fourth vehicle then struck the first vehicle, pushing it into a ditch.
Two of the vehicles needed to be towed from the scene, which police said “slowed traffic in the area for some time.”
Any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police or have dash cam footage of the accident should contact the detachment at 604-894-6634, or Sea to Sky Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
