The young female was taken to hospital by B.C. Ambulance for check up.

Police say she had minor, non-life threatening injuries, as was the case for the operator of the motorcycle.

RCMP don’t believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.

It’s believed because it was a rental, the woman’s inexperience with that particular scooter may have led to the crash.

The fire department also responded to the scene.
