Police take 3 prohibited drivers off Mission roads, including biker doing wheelie in traffic
MISSION — Mission RCMP have had a busy week on the roads last week, according to the detachment’s latest community round-up.
On February 9, at 6 p.m., a woman was reportedly struck after running out in front of a pickup truck turning left from the Lougheed Highway onto Wren Street and was knocked down. While witnesses tried to keep her at the scene, the woman immediately wanted to leave.
“Paramedics assessed the woman, but she refused to be taken to the hospital, so police drove her to where she is residing and requested that others monitor her for signs of a concussion,” said Mission RCMP. “It appears the truck was turning on an advance turning light and had the right of way.”
Earlier that day, officers arrested a 53-year-old known prohibited driver with a “lengthy criminal record” leaving a gas station on Logan Avenue, and the next day, police stopped a 44-year-old man with a “considerable” criminal record after the Crime Reduction Unit spotted his motorcycle turning from Stave Lake Street onto the Lougheed Highway.
