3 died on highway near Logan Lake after police decided to not apprehend driver 90 minutes earlier
British Columbia’s independent police watchdog has cleared officers of wrongdoing in a crash where three people were killed south of Kamloops in July of last year.
The report says RCMP had removed the man who caused the crash from a hotel in Merritt, about 90 minutes before the fatal collision, triggering an investigation into whether police actions may have played a role in the crash. Berglund says both officers at the scene stayed with the man for 20 to 30 minutes while removing him from the hotel, and neither the officers nor a hotel employee who witnessed the interaction felt the man was impaired during that time.
“However, the officers were not responsible for these tragic deaths, and no criminal liability flows to them as a result,” Berglund’s report concludes.
