Motorcycle pushed off road in northern Ontario road rage incident: OPP
Two people from Victoria, B.C., are facing drug trafficking-related charges after being stopped for a road rage incident in the Nipigon area of northwestern Ontario.
The incident took place on July 28 at around 2 p.m., when the Ontario Provincial Police’s Nipigon detachment received a report about a car that rammed into a motorcycle and pushed it off the road on Highway 17.
According to police, the car didn’t stop after this crash, and was driving over 180 km/h.
To contain the area, the highway was closed in both directions, with the car ultimately getting stuck on Camp 81 Road.
Officers arrested two people and seized a large amount of fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine sulphate, crystal methamphetamine, and cocaine. Police also seized cellphones, a combat knife and a baton.
Derick Brown, 34, and Amelia Fisher-Levesque, 21, were charged with public mischief, as well as multiple drug-trafficking offences. None of these charges have been proven in court.
Both of the suspects appeared before an Ontario Court of Justice on July 30.
There was no immediate information on the condition of the motorcyclist.
