B.C. man charged over crash between a tractor and a police patrol car during 2023 anti-SOGI protest [Video]

Mounties say a Chilliwack, B.C., man has been charged with three criminal offences after a crash between a tractor and a B.C. Highway Patrol vehicle during a 2023 protest.

Police say the 54-year-old was arrested on Dec. 18 and will appear in Surrey provincial court on Jan. 16, charged with fleeing police, dangerous operation of a vehicle and assaulting a police officer with a weapon.

RCMP said last year that the tractor was one of several vehicles involved in a convoy that began in Chilliwack and was travelling to Vancouver.

The tractor driver sustained serious injuries in the crash that left an officer with minor injuries.
