Salvage Vehicle Removed from the Roadway in Acheson

On November 7, 2024, a Parkland County Peace Officer stopped a vehicle in the Acheson area. The vehicle in question (a Chevrolet Traverse) had extensive damage to the rear of the vehicle and also had no license plate attached. The driver was requested to produce his Driver's License as well as Registration and Insurance for the vehicle. Upon investigation, the Officer determined that the vehicle had been written off due to it being involved in a collision and had a 'Salvage' status.

Due to the Salvage status and unsafe condition of the vehicle, it was towed and the driver was issued a Summons for operating a Salvage motor vehicle.

Note: A salvage vehicle must be inspected by a licensed technician and registered before it can be re-registered in Alberta. For more information regarding Salvage vehicles in Alberta, please visit the Alberta.ca website here, or search 'Salvage Vehicle Inspections'.
