CHILLIWACK — A Chilliwack RCMP SUV cruiser was involved in a two-vehicle crash on Young Road north of downtown Chilliwack Friday night, but a witness who claims to have seen the motor vehicle incident says the RCMP member isn’t at fault.

According to scanner traffic courtesy of Chilliwack resident David Seltenrich, the two-car crash occurred at about 6:40 p.m. Friday night. Three RCMP vehicles attended along with Chilliwack Fire Engine 1 from the Cheam Avenue firehall.

Both vehicles sustained damage, including damage to the front of the SUV cruiser, and the side of the Kia passenger vehicle which bore the brunt of most of it. The Kia vehicle had an N sticker on it.

“Saw it happen. Car blew the stop sign. Not the [RCMP] member’s fault here.”
