QUESNEL, B.C. — RCMP say speed and alcohol were factors in the arrest of a motorist last Thursday night in Quesnel.

Just before 7:00 that night, police witnessed a black Dodge pickup speeding on Highway 97 near Dragon Hill Road. When police attempted to pull the pickup over, the truck sped southbound on Highway 97.

A witness said the truck was travelling dangerously on Gook Road then onto Quesnel-Hydraulic Road dangerously before being located a short time later at a local business where the male driver was arrested without incident.

Witnesses, including those with dash cam footage, are asked to call police.
