RCMP investigation underway
Early commuters got a shock this morning after a vehicle struck at least two horses north of Pemberton.“It was bad,” said Claire Hayes, who came across the scene, and posted to Facebook warning parents to shield their children from it.Joel Hampshire passed the scene at 7 a.m. this morning when there was one lane of alternating traffic. He also saw two “seriously damaged horse corpses” and a car off the road.“There was a collision on the highway between a vehicle and some horses,” said Cpl.
“We are still investigating the collision and it appears there is more at play than just the horses being on the highway. There were no major injuries, but the driver’s actions are also being investigated.” The incident was called in by a passerby, said Cst. Michael Sullivan, who urged people to slow down on that stretch of the highway.
“The road is very dangerous, especially when it comes into winter time, with fog rolling in,” he said. “It gets icy. These horses are dark and they’re very difficult to see. We do a see a lot of people driving faster than they should. We would encourage people to slow down."
