VANCOUVER — Charges have been laid against a North Vancouver man accused of hitting and injuring an RCMP officer with his motorcycle.
Mark Webber is charged with obstructing a peace officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Police say officers were conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 1 on Feb. 9, when a motorcycle rider was flagged down by police.
After initially stopping, police say the rider accelerated, hitting the officer and knocking him to the ground.
Police say the officer suffered a traumatic brain injury, spent a month off work and is only now making a graduated return to the job.
North Vancouver media spokesman Sgt. Peter DeVries says the information the public gave police was instrumental in getting to this point in the investigation.
