ABBOTSFORD — Abbotsford Police say a motorist has been issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition for their alleged role in a head-on crash on Fraser Highway Monday night.

According to a statement from police, AbbyPD patrol officers were dispatched Monday night (Apr. 8) at about midnight to the scene of a reported head-on collision in the 29600 block of Fraser Highway in Abbotsford. Police say damage to both vehicles was substantial.

“Considering the damage to the two cars involved, it is a miracle that both drivers seemingly only sustained minor injuries,” AbbyPD said on social media.

Officers issued one driver a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition after police say they observed “obvious signs of impairment” suspected of having caused them to cross the center median and cause the crash.

“Accidents such as these are 100% avoidable,” AbbyPD wrote online. “Please do not allow the pull of alcohol to rob you and your family of your life. Do not drink and drive.”
