Tips to police about swerving semi lead to arrest
Tips to police about a fully-loaded tractor trailer, swerving all over the 3500 block of Carrington Road in West Kelowna, led to the arrest of a man – who now faces possible criminal charges.
On Sunday at 8:45 pm, West Kelowna RCMP caught up with the semi, which was hauling 100,000 pounds of lumber, near the Auburn Road industrial park.
The driver failed a roadside breath test, and samples taken later at the Kelowna RCMP detachment, came back at 2 times over the legal limit.
A 41-year-old Surrey man was handed a driving prohibition, and faces possible impaired driving charges.
He has a court date in September.
