Powell River RCMP received a call from a concerned citizen who reported a dangerous possibly impaired driver. The driver collided with Eagle River Bridge causing damage to their vehicle then continued to drive even though one tire was completely flat and an air bag had been deployed. The vehicle finally stopped near the Lang Bay fish hatchery where police spoke to the driver who demonstrated obvious signs of intoxication. The vehicle was impounded and the driver is now facing criminal code charges of impaired driving.
