“I can confirm that the 60 yr old male driver and 40 yr old female passenger that were involved in the May 12th collision in Ollala, were off duty RCMP officers.

Out of respect for their privacy, the RCMP will not speak to specific injuries or identify the officer or their detachment location. Our thoughts and prayers are with the officers and their families during this most difficult time and throughout their recovery period.”
