Breton RCMP are investigating what must have been a hair-raising near miss between two large trucks on Hwy. #39 Aug. 25.
According to Breton RCMP spokesperson Cst. Ken Sawyer, “On August 25 at approximately 12:45 p.m., Breton RCMP received a report of a near head on collision near an oversize load rig move travelling eastbound on Highway 39 at Range Road 52.
“It was reported that the driver of an eastbound B-Train configured tanker truck attempted to pass the oversize load that was turning left onto Range Road 52 from eastbound Highway 39, creating a traffic hazard and causing other drivers to take evasive action.
“Police would like to speak with anyone who witnessed this incident, and particularly with the driver of a westbound pick up truck that may have been forced into the ditch during this incident. “
Sawyer noted he can be reached by phone at 780-696-3520 or by email, Kenneth.Sawyer@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
