Prince George RCMP were kept busy Tuesday with two motor vehicle accidents that required hospital treatment.
The first at about 9:30 a.m. occurred at 18th Avenue and Ospika Boulevard when a northbound minivan failed to stop at a stop sign. The minivan was hit full-on (T-boned) by a dump truck travelling West on 18th Avenue, said Gary Godwin, RCMP media spokesperson.
The 70-year-old male driver of the minivan required the Jaws of Life to free him, and he was sent to UHNBC with non-life threatening injuries.
Charges are pending against the minivan driver.
A second collision between two cars occurred Tuesday at 17th Avenue and Victoria Street.
Godwin said when a southbound car, driven by a 19-year-old male, went through the intersection on a green light, a northbound car, driven by a 40-year-old female, failed to yield as she turned left onto 17th Avenue.
The 19-year-old suffered no known injuries, but the female was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The female driver was issued a ticket for failing to yield.
