On Feb. 23 at approximately 9:30 p.m., Prince George RCMP general duty members
responded to a call from CN Rail of a collision between a train and a vehicle on Tallus Road near
Highway 97, north of Prince George.
The vehicle, a Volkswagen Jetta driven by a 57 year old Summit Lake man, became stuck in the ruts on the tracks. The driver saw the train coming, exited the vehicle and made his way to a safe
location. No one was injured in the collision, however the vehicle suffered significant damage.
The RCMP would like to remind the travelling public to be extra cautious around rail road tracks at
this time of year. There may be build up of ice and snow that may make the tracks more difficult to
cross.
