DAVIDSON—Craik RCMP have charged the driver of a Dodge pickup truck with proceeding before safe as a result of a Victoria Day motor vehicle collision at Davidson’s busiest highway intersection.

At about noon, Monday, May 21, Craik RCMP detachment were called to the intersection of Highway 11 and Enterprise Lane. A Dodge pickup truck that was turning east from the southbound lane of Highway 11 was struck by a Ford pickup truck that was heading north on Highway 11, said Const. Nathan Boyd of the Craik RCMP detachment.

A third vehicle, a small Chevrolet car, was also involved.

Boyd said the car was at the stop sign waiting to merge onto the highway when the Dodge pickup truck, due to the collision, spun around into the front corner of the Chevy. There was a family in the car including a toddler and a pregnant woman. No one in the car was injured.

Davidson Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) also responded to the collision. EMS transported the driver of the Dodge truck and the driver and passenger of the Ford truck to Davidson and District Health Centre were they were evaluated and released.

Firefighters assisted EMS with transferring patients to the ambulance and helped with traffic control, which was restricted to one lane.

Boyd said people need to be cautious when they are crossing the highway.

“People need to make sure they actually stop and look,” Boyd.

He said the traffic was moderately busy on the highway, but it wasn’t extremely busy. Nor was excessive speed a factor in the collision.
