Male caught after going over 2x the speed limit in Abbotsford, under the influence of drugs: AbbyPD

ABBOTSFORD – Police in Abbotsford say a male has had his vehicle impounded for a week after he was clocked at more than two and a half times the speed limit earlier today, all while being allegedly under the influence of drugs.

According to a social media post from the Abbotsford Police Department, an AbbyPD officer conducting proactive traffic enforcement early Wednesday morning, October 14 stopped a driver along Downes Road just after 1 a.m. The vehicle had been clocked at speeds of 127 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone.

On top of those shenanigans, police say the officer suspected the male driver had drugs in his system, which was confirmed after he conducted a field sobriety test.

The driver was issued a 24-hour roadside driving prohibition for drugs, and had his vehicle impounded for seven days as a result of the excessive speeding.
