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.
