Question: Over a year ago, my husband came to pick me up after work a little after 11 pm.

QUESTION: I was given a 24 hour Driving Prohibition in Richmond. When I called the towing company after 24 hours to get their address I was told that there was a police hold on my vehicle. This so called hold carried on until I contacted the RCMP Officer who had issued me the 24 hour suspension.

There's an article in the paper about a motor vehicle that skidded then flipped and landed on its roof in the ditch during a heavy hailstorm. A police spokesperson said the cause of the crash was attributed to the weather and no charges are being contemplated.
