Mounties say a woman in her 40s from Vancouver Island was charged with excessive speeding after she was clocked travelling more double the speed limit in a construction zone near Cameron Lake, east of Port Alberni.
The RCMP was conducting speed enforcement along an area of Highway 4 that was recently reopened to single-lane traffic while crews repair damage caused by recent wildfires.
"Highway construction workers have a dangerous job," Staff-Sgt. Adam Tallboy of RCMP's highway patrol unit said.
