Oyen RCMP provides update on Hit-and-Run incident in Bindloss

BINDLOSS – The Oyen RCMP has informed the community that the individual involved in the recent hit-and-run investigation has come forward to the detachment. After conducting further interviews and reviewing the evidence, authorities believe that the collision was unintentional. The young driver, along with their family, made efforts to locate the dogs' owner after the incident.

The investigation began following a report of a hit-and-run that resulted in the deaths of two dogs. On January 26, 2025, at approximately 10:00 a.m., a white sedan traveling westbound on Railway Avenue in Bindloss was seen accelerating and swerving off the road, striking and killing two white Great Pyrenees dogs. The sedan then fled the scene, continuing west on Railway Avenue. It sustained significant damage to the front end from the collision.

The RCMP appreciates the public's support in this ongoing investigation.
