Lakes District Maintenance Ltd. (LDM) in conjunction with the Burns Lake RCMP detachment held a ‘Shift into Winter’ roadside check stop last Thursday morning on Hwy. 16. Corey Funk from LDM handed out brochures to all vehicles.
Inadvertently a logging truck didn’t want to go through the road check and ended up rerouting off the highway, going down Government Street. As the truck turned onto Government Street the truck ended up creaming off a power pole causing surrounding businesses to lose telephone for over 15 hours.
