Exploding bear spray leaves five with chemical burns, three officers hurt in collision with logging truck
Mounties on southern Vancouver Island say a can of bear spray that overheated caused chemical burns to one person and breathing troubles for others who were aboard a bus near the Fairy Creek protest site.
The officers had been on their way to enforce a court injunction against blockades set up to protest old-growth logging. A portion of the logging road that had been washed out by heavy rain was also repaired to allow vehicles through, a statement issued Friday from the RCMP says.
