Single Motor vehicle crash leads to cocaine seizure

The Nelson Daily is reporting that "Trail and Greater District RCMP said that on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at 3:24 p.m. a frontline officer responded to a report of single motor vehicle incident on Highway 3B near Rossland." Which is just outside Trail in the middle of nowhere.

"RCMP said a 42-year-old Warfield man and his passenger sustained injuries after he crashed his vehicle on the highway. Police said the vehicle was heavily damaged and the airbags deployed with both occupants treated by BCEHS. RCMP said that speed and the driver’s condition and attentiveness were believed to be factors in the crash."

"During the officer’s investigation, police said that the officer located approximately 1.75 kilograms of a substance believed to be Cocaine, $1500, and cell phones inside the crashed vehicle. The 42-year-old Warfield man was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking contrary to Section 5(2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and released by the officer at scene. He and his passenger were transported to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for additional medical treatment."

Speeding and high with over a kilo of cocaine in the car. Should have stayed in school.
