‘Grossly intoxicated’ man flips car over concrete roadblock in Mission: RCMP
MISSION — Mounties in Mission say they’ve taken multiple impaired drivers off the roads last week, including a repeat driving offender and a stubborn man who refused medical help, according to the detachment’s latest round-up.
At around 1 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, officers were called to Catchpole Avenue after a vehicle drove into a concrete block at the end of the road and flipped onto its side.
An officer who helped pull the driver out through the car’s trunk then noticed signs of impairment and arrested him, but the driver refused to comply with a breath test.
“He chose not to go to the hospital with paramedics, and because he was grossly intoxicated, he was lodged in a cell to help keep him safe until he sobered up,” said Mission RCMP.
