Smoky skies advisory the BC Ministry of environment has continued a smoky skies advisory for large sections of the BC interior. the 'spe- cial air quality statement' in our region is a result of the smoke from fires burning in Washington state. Persons with chronic underlying med- ical conditions should postpone strenu- ous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Serious accidents cause road closures several serious accidents over the past few days have caused road closures in the area. Although it is summer and road con- ditions are normally good, the public are reminded to be conscientious of their speed and of other drivers on the highway. rCMP members also note that al- though it is important for travellers to as- sist police with witness statements and medical assistance when passing acci- dents, there have been lots of vehicles that have stopped so that the occupants can take photographs and watch the accident. this often causes problems at the scene with traffic flow, destruction of evidence and taking up rCMP members’ time try- ing to ensure the safety of the public when on the side of the road. if one is not a wit- ness or able to assist with medical they are asked to continue along past the scene to ensure there are no other problems. on sunday, around 3pm, Merritt traf- fic services attended a motor vehicle inci- dent west of sunset Main on Hwy 97C. the highway was closed for an hour and a half to allow emergency personnel and helicopter to attend. the driver of the vehicle, a 26 year old female from Chilliwack and a male occu- pant who suffered a broken femur were air helivacced to kelowna with non life- threatening injuries. the other 2 passen- gers, male and female also of Chilliwack, were ground-transported to kelowna with non life-threatening injuries. the vehicle appeared to have had me- chanical failure causing it to lose control and travel off road down a steep embank- ment. A vehicle inspection will be com- pleted to determine causes. on Monday, at approx. 10:15am, a sin- gle male was involved in a single vehicle accident on the Coquihalla, 17 kms south of town. Witnesses report that a 2004 silver Mazda 3 passed them at a high rate of speed then lost control and entered the centre median. the vehicle struck hard and began to tumble end over end with enough force to eject the engine block from the car. the single occupant of the vehicle suf- fered severe injuries in the accident and air ambulance personnel were contacted im- mediately. But despite their best efforts, the driver succumbed to his injuries & was pronounced deceased on scene. the coro- ner’s office will be investigating the inci- dent and next of kin are being notified. the highway was closed for a short time and then single lanes opened in both directions to allow traffic to continue. City recreation maintenance closures the Nicola Valley Aquatic Centre will be closed for annual maintenance for ap- prox. 1 month, the re-opening date still to be announced. the entire facility will be closed Aug. 18-24. last day the pool will be open is sunday, Aug 17. the gym will re- open on Monday, Aug 25 and will be open Mon-Fri, 7am-7pm. the City’s spray park at rotary Park, will be unavailable from August 19-22 in order to complete the spray pad resurfacing project. this entails base preparation and applying a 100% recycled BC tire rubber product over the entire surface. this will re- sult in a much more resilient, softer and slip-proof surface.

Serious accidentscause road closures

several serious accidents over the pastfew days have caused road closures in thearea. Although it is summer and road con-ditions are normally good, the public arereminded to be conscientious of theirspeed and of other drivers on the highway.

rCMP members also note that al-though it is important for travellers to as-sist police with witness statements andmedical assistance when passing acci-dents, there have been lots of vehicles thathave stopped so that the occupants cantake photographs and watch the accident.

this often causes problems at the scenewith traffic flow, destruction of evidenceand taking up rCMP members’ time try-ing to ensure the safety of the public whenon the side of the road. if one is not a wit-ness or able to assist with medical they areasked to continue along past the scene toensure there are no other problems.

on sunday, around 3pm, Merritt traf-fic services attended a motor vehicle inci-dent west of sunset Main on Hwy 97C.the highway was closed for an hour anda half to allow emergency personnel andhelicopter to attend.

the driver of the vehicle, a 26 year oldfemale from Chilliwack and a male occu-pant who suffered a broken femur wereair helivacced to kelowna with non life-threatening injuries. the other 2 passen-gers, male and female also of Chilliwack,were ground-transported to kelownawith non life-threatening injuries.

the vehicle appeared to have had me-chanical failure causing it to lose controland travel off road down a steep embank-ment. A vehicle inspection will be com-pleted to determine causes.

Witnesses report that a 2004 silverMazda 3  passed them at a high rate ofspeed then lost control and entered thecentre median. the vehicle struck hard andbegan to tumble end over end with enoughforce to eject the engine block from the car.

the single occupant of the vehicle suf-fered severe injuries in the accident and airambulance personnel were contacted im-mediately. But despite their best efforts,the driver succumbed to his injuries & waspronounced deceased on scene. the coro-ner’s office will be investigating the inci-dent and next of kin are being notified.
