Extensive damage to North Shore apartment after car smashes into building
KAMLOOPS — UPDATE — One person is in custody after an early morning accident Sunday on the North Shore.
Three occupants of a North Shore apartment received minor injuries after a car ran into an apartment building on Tranquille Road.
Staff Sergeant Ed Preto says just after 5:30 yesterday morning, a black BMW, westbound in the 1600 block of Tranquille Road went out of control and hit a 3-story apartment building on the North side of the road at the intersection of Holt and Tranquille. One ground floor unit in the apartment building suffered extensive damage. Corporal Cheryl Bush says fortunately the occupants weren’t seriously hurt.
The driver fled the scene and was the subject of a police search using the RCMP service dog. The dog didn’t find a scent, but police say this morning the driver was taken into custody without incident later yesterday. Police say the man is being held in custody, and should be appearing in court today.
