RCMP have closed their investigation into a rollover near the ADM plant on 62 Avenue.

No tickets or charges will be laid in connection with the crash, RCMP say.

A red Dodge pickup truck rolled onto its roof near 48 Street around 12:30 a.m. July 13.

The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.

The driver had tried to kick out a window to escape the wreck, Cpl. Mat Howell, RCMP K Division public information officer, said at the time.

Under Canadian law, drivers involved in a collision have a legal duty to report it to police.

But statements made under that legal duty generally cannot be used to lay charges against the driver, without independent evidence to support them.

That principle comes from a 1999 Supreme Court of Canada ruling, which found a driver’s compelled account of an accident is protected from self-incrimination under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Police have not released further details on the cause of the rollover.
