A family dispute that hit the road in Chase resulted in probable charges being laid.

At around 2:30 p.m. on May 10, the local RCMP received a driving complaint on Squilax-Anglemont Road, with the caller reporting that a silver BMW and black pickup were speeding and appeared to be chasing each other.

Shortly after receiving that call, police were then advised of a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Chase, with officers told that a black pickup had rammed a silver BMW several times.

91ƵThe investigation determined that the two drivers were family members involved in a dispute, and the collision was not accidental,91Ƶ media relations officer Const. Sarah Van Wilgenburg said in a May 29 media release. 91ƵNeither driver was seriously injured; however, both vehicles sustained significant damage.91Ƶ

She added that police expect to recommend charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Another possible road rage incident took place the following day, May 11, though that one had no familial connections.

At approximately 2 p.m., the Chase RCMP were advised of a suspicious vehicle on Highway 1. The caller reported that a newer grey Toyota Camry had followed her from Kamloops to Pritchard after she honked her horn at the other driver.

91ƵShe became concerned about the other driver91Ƶs intentions and phoned a family member to meet her at the store,91Ƶ Van Wilgenburg said. 91ƵThe Camry followed the caller to the store, then turned around and returned to the highway. The driver was described as a middle-aged Caucasian man.91Ƶ

She added that responding officers were unable to locate the vehicle.
