A single-vehicle collision caused delays on BC Ferries Malaspina Sky vessel, which delayed several sailings during the day.
According to Powell River RCMP, a Dodge Ram pickup truck was heavily damaged when it had a malfunction in the braking system while loading the vessel on Jun. 6, around 7:30 a.m.
The 66-year-old male driver wasn’t injured in the crash, but police say he was issued a violation under the Motor Vehicle Act for improper brake performance.
Corporal Alex Berube says after the collision the vehicle was removed, but it took several hours to make sure the vessel was safe for use as BC Ferries had to make sure the boat was structurally safe.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Powell River RCMP at 604-485-6255.
