The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several calls from Thursday, June 7 to the morning of Thursday, June 14, one of which was a single-vehicle rollover involving a tractor-trailer which took place at the junction of Hwys 9 and 13, near Carlyle.
Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle detachment has received numerous media enquiries regarding the accident, especially with regards to members of the public visiting and/or photographing incidents such as these. He says: “Members of our detachment responded to the accident along with Carlyle Fire & Rescue and local EMS. We ask members of the public not to interfere with the work of first responders.”
“If you see a collision down the road, please detour to avoid it if you can. Otherwise, you might get stuck in traffic or worse, you might see something you never want to see again,” Simons explains.
“But most importantly, if you are an onlooker at the scene of a motor vehicle accident, you are potentially putting all of the attending emergency personnel and witnesses at risk, by causing traffic jams or impeding the ability of an ambulance to arrive or depart from the scene.”
“Remember, 'Curiosity killed the cat.'”
