KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP have arrested a woman involved in a vehicle incident earlier this week on the city’s north shore.

In a release, Staff Sgt. Sascha Fesenko says on Friday (Apr. 24) around 5:30 p.m, an RCMP officer was attempting to conduct a traffic stop in the 1400 block of Tranquille Road, when a driver refused to stop.

The officer stopped his vehicle at the time in the interest of public safety. However a short time later, the officer came upon an accident scene involving the same vehicle they’d tried to pull over.

The female driver had fled the scene at the intersection of Tranquille Road and Fortune Drive, but was eventually arrested at a nearby home.

Now, police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
