This woman passed my wife and I this morning (Friday December 20) on County Road #2 at very high speed (130 – 140) as we were driving from Gananoque to Kingston. We commented at the time that the driver was reckless as there was an oncoming vehicle. We were passed by the Military Police with siren and lights while coming down the hill just past #2 and Hwy #15 and weren’t totally surprised when we saw that the truck had caused an accident. We’re glad to know that everyone is okay including the nice dog we saw sitting in the truck and that the police caught the driver.
Not often I hear the military police get involves outside of juristiction. Good teamwork!
