Chilliwack RCMP motorcycle officer rear-ended, injured on Yale Road

CHILLIWACK — A Chilliwack RCMP motorcycle officer was reportedly rear-ended Friday morning (July 14) in the 46100 block of Yale Road in downtown Chilliwack, prompting a response from the Chilliwack Fire Department and BC Emergency Health Services.

According to two eyewitnesses who work at 89.5 JR Country in the building directly above the site of the accident, a motorcycle officer was rear-ended by a vehicle after the constable allowed a pedestrian to cross the road in a crosswalk. In doing so, while the motorcycle officer was stopped, a vehicle collided with the motorcycle.

One of the two eyewitnesses says the male motorcycle cop had his vehicle swung around in the opposite direction due to the impact of the collision. The car that rear-ended the vehicle was reportedly driven by a female who appeared to be very upset and bothered, almost distraught, by the accident, according to the eyewitness.

A picture shared by two eyewitnesses in the 46100 block of Yale Road shows several first responders and an ambulance surrounding the officer and the motorcycle in the District 1881 shopping vicinity.
