RCMP say they are continuing to investigate an incident that happened last Sunday on Highway #52 near the New Bothwell corner. Officers say they were told that just before 4:00 p.m., an eastbound pickup truck had rear-ended another vehicle, then hit the ditch.

The woman, whose car was hit, has told us she was driving home from Winnipeg when a truck came up fast from the rear, then backed off, only to speed up again and hit the back of her car. She adds the driver of the truck then passed her before slowing down and driving into the ditch where he kept going until he crashed.

RCMP say the driver has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act and add that the matter remains under investigation.
