ON Friday, July 25 at approximately 11 p.m., White Rock RCMP received a 9-1-1 call advising of a dangerous and possibly impaired driver in the 14000-block of North Bluff Road. Police responded quickly and located the vehicle shortly after receiving the call.

A 50-year-old male from White Rock was arrested for impaired driving and is facing charges after providing breath samples that were over four times the legal limit.

“This was an extremely dangerous situation,” said Constable Chantal Sears. “It is a miracle this driver didn’t cause a serious collision.”

RCMP thanked the vigilant caller who reported the incident and emphasized the crucial role the public plays in helping keep roads safe.

“We continue to remove impaired drivers from our roads on a weekly basis, despite the availability of safe and sober transportation options in our community,” said Sears. “It is both disappointing and alarming that this criminal behaviour persists.”

The male was released from custody after having his drivers licence suspended with a court date scheduled in November.

White Rock RCMP urge anyone who suspects an impaired driver to call 9-1-1 immediately.
