KINKORA, P.E.I. — After reporting an earlier incident of passing a school bus while red lights were flashing, another report from Feb. 7 was submitted to the East Prince RCMP of a vehicle passing a school bus with its red lights on.
This, the second incident reported for the day, happened on Route 225 in the community of Kinkora at around 3:15 p.m. The vehicle was described as blue hatchback, possibly a Nissan Versa with a Nova Scotia plate.
Once again, a reminder that failing to stop for a school bus when the red lights are flashing will lead to a loss of 12 demerit points, resulting in licence suspension for three months in addition to a fine of up to $5,000. It could also lead to hurting or killing a child who is innocently getting to and from school.
Anyone with information about this issue that might assist RCMP in this investigation can provide anonymously via P.E.I. Crime Stoppers (peicrimestoppers.com) or by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
If someone’s tip leads to a conviction it could be eligible for a cash reward.
