An alleged alcohol fueled assault in Trail has resulted in a serious injury to one woman and possible charges against another.
RCMP say a 51-year-old suffered a broken ankle and accuse a 37-year-old of also getting into a fight with the arresting officer.
She was later released, while the 51-year-old was taken to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for treatment.
Police want to hear from anyone who saw the altercation just after midnight Sat May 10 in the 17-hundred block of Third Avenue.
“Police are looking to speak to all of the witness to this event to determine the sequence of events leading up to this incident,” said Detachment Commander Mike Wicentowich.
Meanwhile, RCMP suspect alcohol was the reason for a late Sat night car crash in Warfield.
Police say the 35-year-old Calgary man behind the wheel and a passenger were apparently uninjured after their vehicle careened off the Schofield Hwy and into a tree.
Police, Kootenay-Boundary Regional fire fighters and paramedics all responded to the scene at the Bingay Rd intersection.
RCMP say the driver failed the breath test and was charged with being impaired, losing his license for 90-days and his car for a month.
The man was also fined $368.
Wicentowich warns police will be out in force on area roads and highways.
“Trail officers and the BC Highway Patrol will be on patrol all summer enforcing the law to keep our roads safer,” said the RCMP Sergeant.
