Williams Lake RCMP confirmed they believe alcohol was a factor in a lunch hour crash near Marie Sharpe Elementary School Wednesday.
Const. Champagne said police were called to a two-vehicle collision at 12:27 that the Williams Lake Fire Dept. was attending on Third Avenue North near Comer Street.
“A northbound car had hit a parked SUV and then crashed into the curb on the sidewalk,” Champagne said. “Officers detained the driver on scene and an impaired investigation showed that alcohol was a factor.”
