Written by Administrator on October 20, 2014
(CORNER BROOK, NL) – October 20, 2014 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary
(RNC) Corner Brook Region are investigating a single vehicle collision which occurred
on the North Shore of the Bay of Islands.
This morning at approximately 11:30 a.m. RNC officers from Patrol Services, with
assistance from the Corner Brook Fire Department, Western Health Paramedics and
Reliable Ambulance, responded to a single vehicle collision along Route 440 in an area
known as Wild Cove. The pickup truck was westbound when it left the roadway and
overturned. Two occupants of the vehicle, a male and female, were conveyed to
Western Memorial Regional Hospital for what is described as non-life threatening
injuries.
Weather and road conditions are believed to have contributed to the cause of this
incident as investigators noted a substantial accumulation of water on the roadway due
to recent rainfall. The RNC wishes to remind motorists to please adjust their driving
habits in accordance with environmental conditions.
The RNC is continuing to investigate this incident. Anyone with information is asked to
contact police at 637-4100 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You may also
