On Tuesday, April 2, a frontline Trail RCMP officer responded to a report of a single vehicle incident on Highway 22, near Oasis.
A Greenwood woman, 53, was still on scene when police arrived, and reportedly uninjured.
She told police that she was driving to Castlegar when her vehicle left the highway, flipped over, and crashed into a marsh.
The vehicle ended up partially submerged.
The woman managed to exit the vehicle and received assistance from passing motorists.
She alleged that she was cut off by a black Dodge Ram truck which caused her to veer off the highway.
Police say an officer seized drug use paraphernalia and one gram of a substance suspected to be fentanyl.
The officer reports that drug impairment may be a factor in the cause of the crash.
Witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage is encouraged to call the Trail detachment at 250.364.2566 to speak to an investigator.
