One driver had a narrow escape after a large boulder rolled down Highway 99 in West Vancouver. The incident happened on March 3 around 6:15 am when a large boulder rolled onto the highway north of Sunset Marina near Horseshoe Bay.
While one driver was able to navigate around the boulder, the second car driver could not stop in time and hit the boulder, which extensively damaged the vehicle. However, the driver and the passengers did not receive any injuries in this incident.
Impaired drivers taken off the highway
On March 5, police took two drunk drivers off the highway in separate incidents. In the first incident, a concerned person called the police about a man driving erratically. Police stopped and found him to be impaired. On March 2, an officer on patrol saw a car speeding excessively. An officer did a check stop and found the driver to be unlicensed and showing signs of impairment. He also refused to provide breath samples. In both cases, drivers received 90 day driving prohibitions and had their cars impounded.
