Impaired driving case

A man is facing impaired driving charges after a late-night crash on Highway 101.

The single-vehicle crash happened last Sunday, Jan. 24th, at around 11:00pm on the highway near Bradford Road.

Police say the 26-year-old driver showed signs of impairment and ended up failing a breath sample.

He was taken back to the Powell River detachment where two further breath samples were obtained. 

The driver was issued a driving prohibition and will appear in court at a later date on impaired driving charges.
