TISDALE — A local man was charged and found guilty of dangerous driving after an incident south of Tisdale. “We had a police truck with lights activated on Highway 35 blocking the highway, allowing a tow truck to pull a vehicle that had entered the ditch,” said Cpl. Mike Benjamin of the Tisdale detachment of the RCMP. “The tow truck had its emergency lights on.” This took place around 10 kilometres south of Tisdale at ap-
proximately 8 am. “We had a southbound vehicle on 35 come up behind us, fail to slow down, pass us on the right – so through the ditch at 100 kilometres per hour – and then go back on the highway and keep going.” Driving visibility and road conditions were good at the time. “It was dark, which should have made the emergency lights even clearer,” Benjamin said. “Visibility was excellent, like five kilometres in either direction – no problem.” SEE MISS PAGE 2
