The Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) is investigating after a RCMP cruiser collided with a civilian vehicle in Okanagan Falls Sunday night.
Two men were taken to hospital, one with serious injuries, after their vehicle crashed with a RCMP patrol car.
The incident happened about 7 p.m. July 10, when a police vehicle was being driven on Maple Street and collided with a vehicle driving on 10th Avenue in Okanagan Falls.
