VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP

On the 28th of August at approximately 4:30PM, Cst. Scott Buchanan of the North Bay Police Service was conducting a routine traffic stop on Wasi Rd in Callander. The driver of a motor vehicle allegedly refused to stop and police pursued the vehicle, which eventually came to a stop by hitting the ditch at a gas station at the corner of Tillicum Bay Rd and Wasi Rd. There was damage to the driver’s motor vehicle, however no one sustained any injuries.
Robert MARKI, 25 years old of Waltonian Dr. in Callander is charged with Flight From Police and will appear for court at a later date.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY

The North Bay Police Service reminds motorists that School Buses will be back on City Streets as of Tuesday September 2nd. Under the Highway Traffic Act all Vehicles are required to stop for the school bus in both directions when the bus’s overhead lights are flashing. The fine for passing a school bus with lights flashing is a minimum $495.00, and a maximum of $2000.00, plus six demerit points. A child could be injured or killed if motorists are inattentive around school buses, therefore officers will be assigned specifically to watch out for vehicle’s passing through the lights.
