No Charges Laid In Pennfield Overpass Crash

No charges being laid in a crash atop the Pennfield overpass.

RCMP tell Tide News a semi-tractor trailer reportedly turned into the opposing lane at the 785/176 overpass at Pennfield and collided nearly head-on with a sedan yesterday around noon.

Cpl. Jayson Hanson says the two people in the car were from Utopia and were sent to the Regional Hospital with injuries.

Police do not believe alcohol or speed were factors in the crash but the crash is still under investigation.

The crash blocked both lanes and stopped traffic for over an hour.
