RCMP in Quesnel arrested a driver who was excessively speeding.
On May 13, RCMP observed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed on Highway 97 near Dragoon Hill Road.
The police attempted to stop the black Dodge pickup truck, the driver failed to stop and fled at a high rate of speed southbound on Highway 97.
The same truck was later seen on Plywood Hill and police tried to stop the truck on Northstar Road. Again the drive fled south on Highway 97.
Information was received from a witness who stated the truck was travelling on Gook Road then onto the Quesnel-Hydraulic Road driving dangerously.
The truck was located a short time later and the driver was arrested without incident. Police believe that speed and alcohol are contributing factors, the investigation is ongoing. Police are requesting anyone with dash cam footage from the area at the time of the incident to come forward.
