PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP are looking for witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage following a suspected drunk driving incident on the Hart.
Mounties say the incident occurred on Monday, August 11 just after 1 p.m. when an unmarked RCMP vehicle was struck from behind by a grey 2003 Toyota Tundra, while stopped for a red light at the intersection of Monterey Road and Highway 97 North. The investigation on scene led police officers to suspect the driver of the Toyota Tundra was impaired by alcohol.
The driver of the unmarked RCMP vehicle was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
“Police made a roadside demand for a breath sample, which resulted in a fail reading on the approved screening device. The driver was detained and further provided two breath samples that registered as more than three times the legal limit. The driver was released from police custody, on an Appearance Notice, to an individual able to care for the driver,” says Cst. Jenna Moore, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
