An alleged impaired driver now has a date in court after crashing into a truck hauling another impaired driver’s vehicle, according to West Shore RCMP.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on February 25th, police were called to the Island Highway in View Royal after a report of a suspected impaired driver.
A witness provided police with a license plate number and a description of the vehicle, which officers later spotted along Wishart Road in Colwood.
An investigation ensued and the driver, a 29-year-old man, was served a roadside prohibition. His vehicle was also towed away, police say.
But that’s when a second impaired driver crashed into the tow truck in the 600-block of Latoria Road, striking the driver’s side door.
Mounties responded to the scene and conducted another impaired-driving investigation, which saw a 17-year-old with a learner’s license arrested but later released to an adult.
The teen now has a court date sometime in June, police say, adding no injuries are stemming from the crash.
“West Shore RCMP remains dedicated in our continuous effort toward removing impaired drivers from our roads. Do not hesitate to call the West Shore RCMP if you suspect an impaired driver,” said Cst. Meghan Groulx.
