RCMP are seeking a man in his mid-40s in what police have described as a “road-rage incident” in the Oliver area.
Police say on Feb. 7, around 6 p.m., officers in Oliver attended to a report of an apparent road-rage incident.
A driver traveling south into Oliver near the Vaseux Lake rest area, when they were tail-gated by a dark coloured pick-up truck, according to the RCMP.
“Once they drove onto Tuc el nuit Drive from Highway 97, they pulled over to the side of the road to allow the truck to pass. The driver of the truck also stopped, got out of their vehicle, and approached the other driver. The driver of the truck began to yell, and subsequently kicked the victim’s vehicle before getting back into their own vehicle and continuing south on Tuc el nuit Drive,” states a press release.
RCMP describe the suspect as a caucasian, male, mid 40s, short, stocky build, with dark coloured hair and facial hair, with a “smoker’s voice.”
If anyone has information on this occurrence, they’re encouraged to contact the Oliver RCMP, 250-498-3422, or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
