On June 5, 2026, at 2:21 pm, a Lac Du Bonnet RCMP officer was flagged down by a concerned parent advising that his child and a friend were nearly struck by a vehicle while riding their bikes on Burrows Road in Pinawa. He pointed out the marks on the grass where the vehicle swerved towards the children.
Officers located the suspect vehicle parked in a commercial parking lot nearby. Police observed a female exiting the business and starting the vehicle in preparation to leave the area.
Police spoke with the driver of the vehicle who denied involvement in the incident reported. A Mandatory Alcohol Screening was completed on the driver which resulted in her failing both tests.
The driver, a 62-year-old, was issued a 90-day administrative suspension on scene and her vehicle impounded for 30 days.
