KAMLOOPS — Following a police-involved motorcycle incident in Kamloops last night (May 18), the province’s police watchdog has now been notified.

In a statement from the Independent Investigations Office of BC, RCMP reported that just before 9 p.m Saturday evening, an officer saw a motorcycle headed westbound on Highway 1 in Kamloops driving at a high rate of speed.

The officer pulled over the man riding the motorcycle, and as the officer got out of his vehicle, the motorcycle driver took off.

Shortly after, the man’s motorcycle hit a centre median on the highway headed eastbound and went into oncoming traffic.
