A heavy wrecker did a lot of wrecking on Sunday when it ran into Salmon Arm's main mall building, witnesses told Salmon Arm RCMP.

“A heavy wrecker with a highway truck on the hook ran into The Centenoka Park Mall building not once, but twice according to witnesses,” reported Staff Sgt. Scott West. “Approximately $30,000 in damage was caused to the building and the tow truck, which was also heavily damaged.
“There were luckily no injuries as a result of the collision which occurred at low speed.”

West did not explain how the building was hit twice.

He said the driver of the tow truck was served a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act.
