A driver’s joyride in a golf cart came to an abrupt end on Sunday evening.
Just before 5 p.m. on June 22, Oak Bay police responded to a crash near Oak Bay High at 2121 Cadboro Bay Rd. An investigation revealed that the driver – a man in his 20s – had been “recklessly" operating the cart.
The vehicle, which was licensed and insured, ultimately flipped.
Police issued the man, who sustained minor injuries, a driving without consideration charge.
This was just one of the motor-vehicle incidents that occurred in Oak Bay between June 16 to 22.
At 10:35 p.m. on June 18, an officer was conducting speed enforcement near Cattle Point and Beach Drive when a motorcyclist was clocked travelling 87 km/h in the posted 40 km/h zone, according to the Oak Bay Police Department.
The operator was charged for excessive speeding, and the bike was impounded for seven days.
Oak Bay police ask that those with information regarding these incidents phone 250-592-2424 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
