Drunk driver takes out road signs

A drunk driver missed a curb on Valleyview Drive at around 1 a.m. Friday morning, sending his pickup careening into several road signs.

Police were called to the single-vehicle crash at Rose Hill Road, which several witnesses reportedly heard.

An officer arrived and noticed a 2012 Ford F150 on the road with extensive damage after it plowed into several roadside signs and then hit a cement no-post at Rose Hill Road.

B.C. Ambulance paramedics determined the lone driver was uninjured.

He blew over the legal limit for alcohol on a roadside test and immediately received a 90-day suspended licence and 30-day vehicle impound.

His truck was not so fortunate - the 2012 Ford F150 will likely be a writeoff.
