SRCWA #2015105 - Motor Vehicle/Pedestrian Incident

For Immediate Release                                                                                                     2015-12-13

 

Motor Vehicle Collision Involving Two Pedestrians

RCMP File#: 20151601913

 

Morinville, Alberta - On December 12th, 2015 at approximately 5:18 p.m. Morinville RCMP and emergency services responded to a motor vehicle collision involving two pedestrians and a single motor vehicle on highway 37 near the hamlet of Calahoo.

 

The passenger car was heading east on highway 37 when it came across two individuals walking in the travel portion of the highway.  The driver was unable to avoid the collision.  One adult male pedestrian received minor injuries and was transported by ground ambulance to hospital for treatment.  The adult female pedestrian received more serious but non-life threatening injuries was also transported by ground ambulance to hospital.  The driver was not injured. 

 

Speed of the passenger vehicle was not a factor in the collision.  There was no evidence of alcohol consumption or distracted driving on the part of the driver of the passenger vehicle.  Road conditions were not a factor at the time of the collision, but lighting conditions were poor at the time.

 

Factors in the collision were that the pedestrians failed to walk on the left side of the highway facing traffic.  Alcohol is also considered a factor with the pedestrians and that they were both dressed in dark non-reflective clothing.

 

Pedestrians are encouraged to "be seen".  Wear brightly coloured or reflective clothing, especially when walking in low light or poor weather conditions. If you are impaired, seek assistance and find alternative transportation.  When walking where possible use all available walkways or sidewalks.  If walking on the traveled portion of a roadway always walk as close as you can to edge of the road and always walk facing traffic. 

 

No charges have been laid at this time.

SRCWA #2015103 - President's Message

December 9, 2015

Greetings to all our members, 

Christmas is coming and what excitement for the little ones, eh? I love how their little faces light up when they see Santa. Such fun to watch. 

We had a follow-up Board Development meeting on November 21 with our facilitator Kristin Ward-Diaz. January, 2015 was our initial meeting and there were a number of recommendations made. At this meeting we were able to say we have followed through with quite a number of them including: actively recruiting Zone Directors for the vacant Zones, contacting existing members by phone, and increasing our membership to name but a few.

Dan, our Communications Director, is redoing our email system – our members now need to subscribe to the email service in order to receive the messages from the RCMP. Dan contacts members via email and the members are asked to subscribe with a simple, two step process. First by clicking on the subscribe link in Dan’s email and providing your email address. Or you can click on the link at the bottom of our home page.

 The automated service will quickly send you a confirmation email containing a verification link. Clicking the verification link will activate the subscription. Both steps are required in order to receive your SRCWA e-mails. You can unsubscribe any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. And, of course, we will not share your email address with anyone!

The other reason for doing this is to reduce as many automated phone calls as possible – the telephone messages will be only for the members who have no computer and internet access. Please subscribe as soon as possible once you receive the message from Dan. The zone and associate zone directors will be personally calling all the members in their zones for their e-mail addresses. 

Dan has also reactivated our Twitter account if anyone is interested in following us. Just click on the link at the bottom of our home page to get started. Louis, Dan and Bonny are working on setting up a facebook page for SRCWA. All the information will be available to everyone through every social media source. Of course, the website will continue to be the most in-depth resource.

On December 5^th Colleen and I attended the Trade/Craft Show in Legal. We received a very positive response from everyone we spoke with and we signed up two new members as well. It was a good day – well done Legal. 

Last night was our Christmas Potluck Dinner – it was well attended by about 25 members. We were very pleased to have three of our county councilors: Susan Evans, Patrick Tighe and Wayne Bokenfohr join us. We were joined as well by Shelley Porter, a trustee for the SSD. The support from all of them has been more than we could have asked for. I would have had pictures to post of our dinner if I hadn’t forgotten my camera in my jacket pocket - oops. It was a good plan though!

On December 17^th we will be attending our first Candy Cane Check. We were invited by the Town to join them and we are so very pleased to do so. 

Our next meeting will be on January 12, 2016 at 7p.m. at the Provincial Building in Morinville. All of our members who would like to join us are welcome. 

We wish all of our members a safe and a very Merry Christmas and good health and happiness for 2016. 

Merry Christmas

SRCWA #2015101 - Driving Awareness Month

December is Impaired Driving Awareness Month

In conjunction with the Alberta Traffic Safety Action Plan the Morinville RCMP will be focusing attention on impaired driving.  

Impaired driving is a crime and it will be treated as such.  Know the limits. Know your limits.  Drivers who choose to drive impaired face not only the possibility of killing themselves, their friends or someone else, but also very serious legal, financial, social and other consequences.  Make the safe choice for everyone – don’t drive if you have been drinking, using drugs or are fatigued.  Plan ahead how you’re going to get home. There are alternatives to impaired driving.  If you encounter a suspected impaired driver, pull over and record the vehicle licence plate number and dial 911 anywhere in the province.  Your ability to drive is not only affected by alcohol but also by drugs, fatigue and distractions.

Facts to Know:

·         Drivers with a Criminal Code charge (blood alcohol concentration greater than .08):

·      1^st Charge – immediate licence suspension until the criminal charge is resolved and a 3 day vehicle seizure.

·      2^nd & Subsequent Charges – immediate licence suspension until the criminal charge is resolved and a seven day vehicle seizure.

·      Addictions assessment may be required.

·      If you are convicted, your driver licence suspension periods are as follows:

·      First time offenders automatically receive a one-year suspension.

·      Second time offenders receive a three-year suspension.

·      Third time offenders receive a five-year suspension. 

·      Drivers convicted of impaired driving causing injury or death, receive a mandatory five-year licence suspension. Drivers who are convicted of an alcohol-related Criminal Code charge will be required to attach alcohol sensors to their vehicle ignitions before they are allowed to drive again:

·         1^st conviction – one-year

·         2^nd conviction – three-years

·         3^rd & subsequent convictions – five-years

How many people are killed or injured in collisions involving drinking drivers?

From 2009 to 2013, on average each year almost 90 people were killed and 1,330 people were injured in collisions involving at least one driver who had consumed alcohol prior to the crash.  Specifically, in 2013, 80 people were killed and 1,133 were injured. 

Other Facts:

On average over the past five years, approximately 8,600 people were convicted of impaired driving in Alberta each year.

On average in Alberta, one in five drivers involved in fatal collisions have been drinking prior to the collision.  This compares to an average of about one in 20 drivers involved in injury collisions.  As the severity of the collision increases, so does the likelihood the collision will involve a drinking driver.

The highest numbers of casualty collisions involving alcohol occur during warmer weather months (May to October).

The most casualty collisions involving alcohol occur on the weekends. The most likely time period for these collisions, on any day of the week, is between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Morinville RCMP is asking that the public please take the above information seriously.  Our hope is to have everyone travel our roadways in a safe and responsible manner.
