The Bonnyville RCMP were involved in 190 investigations from July 7-14.
On July 11 at 7:20 AM, a two vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of 50 Ave and 50 St when a vehicle was stopped at the red light waiting to proceed straight Westbound and another Westbound vehicle came up behind and rear ended it.

On July 11 at 11:00 AM, a member of the Bonnyville RCMP was exiting the Detachment parking lot near the intersection of 54 Ave and 46 St just moments after a collision had taken place there.
