Police actions investigated in Salmon Arm incident

A police watchdog agency will investigate an incident in Salmon Arm that resulted in injuries to a woman.

Just before 5:30 p.m. on April 22, officers from the Salmon Arm RCMP were called to a report of a possible domestic disturbance at a residence in the 700-block of Abbington Lane in Salmon Arm.

A second caller reported a blue Pontiac Vibe may have been associated to the disturbance. While en route to the scene, responding officers observed a blue Pontiac Vibe traveling at a high-rate of speed in the opposite direction along Highway 1.

The responding officers stopped, changed direction and some time later they located the Vibe, east of Sandy Point Road, where it had been involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle.
