Police help man climbing Highway 3B with shopping cart

Unusual sight on highway

RCMP in Trail came across an unusual sight in the middle of a highway on Sunday.

Police were called at about 8 a.m. for a complaint about a road obstruction on Highway 3B at the bottom of the Rossland Hill.

When the officer arrived, he discovered a Trail man pushing a shopping cart filled with "construction materials" up the steep incline in the middle of a highway lane.

The officer spoke to the man about the incident then gave him a ride to a location for his own safety.

"After helping the 38-year-man, the attending officer informed the man his cart would need winter tires if he intended to cross over the Paulson Summit," said Sgt. Wicentowich in a statement.
