Sicamous RCMP stopped an alleged impaired driver travelling 34 km/h over the speed limit.
Police were conducting radar speed enforcement on Highway 1 in Malakwa when officers clocked a vehicle travelling 134 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. Officers determined the vehicle was registered in Alberta.
“The officer detected an odour of liquor on the driver and a breath demand was read,” Sgt. Murray McNeil said. “The driver provided two samples of his breath, both of which resulted in a failed test.”
Police said the driver received an immediate 90-day driving prohibition and the truck was impounded for 30 days. The driver was also issued a speeding ticket.
