BC Prosecution Service says no charges against Nakusp Mountie involved in fatal crash

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s Prosecution Service says a Nakusp Mountie who was involved in a fatal crash in November 2024 will not face charges.

In a news release, it says the officer activated police lights and sirens and began trailing a stolen truck onto Highway 6 around 3:15 p.m. Nov. 25, 2024.

It says the truck driver accelerated past a school bus, then lost control on a curve and crashed into a ditch where the vehicle flipped over.

The prosecution service says the driver died at the scene as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, while a passenger who was inside the truck was uninjured.

It says because a person was fatally injured, the Independent Investigations Office began looking into the case but determined there were no reasonable grounds to believe the officer committed an offence.
