Breton RCMP seeking witnesses to near head on collision

Breton RCMP are hoping to speak with witnesses of a near head on collision on Highway 39 over the weekend.

Mounties said on August 25 around 12:45 p.m. a report came in of an oversize load rig travelling eastbound on Highway 39 at Range Road 52.

The complainant reported that the driver of a 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 the incident, and particularly with the driver of a westbound pick-up truck that may have been forced into the ditch during this incident.
