RCMP searching for driver who struck and killed two dogs in Brocklehurst

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are investigating after two dogs were struck and killed by a vehicle in Brocklehurst early Monday (April 4) morning.

Officers were called to Ord Road at McLean Street near 5:00 a.m. after a black, short-box Dodge pickup truck collided with two dogs who had escaped a nearby yard.

According to the report, the truck’s driver allegedly stopped briefly, yelled at those present, then made comments about having to get to the airport, before continuing westbound. RCMP say officers patrolled the airport but did not locate the vehicle.

“Although no license plate was obtained, we are hopeful someone from the area will have captured video surveillance featuring the truck, which will help police identify and contact the driver as part of the investigation,” Cst. Crystal Evelyn says.
