A 22-year-old with a Novice driver’s license is being investigated for impaired driving, after the car he was in crashed into a house in Mission.
Mission RCMP were called to a house at the intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and Ferndale Avenue at 3:19 am on February 5, after a vehicle crashed into the residence. Officers arrived to find a red Honda Civic sticking halfway into the house. Initial evidence suggested that the vehicle failed to stop at a three-way intersection, and drove into a house on the north side of Ferndale Avenue. The car crashed right into a bedroom where a resident was asleep, but amazingly the resident was not seriously injured, despite waking up to a car overtop of her bed. The driver – a 22-year old male from Mission – allegedly exhibited signs of being impaired by liquor, and was transported to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Because he was unable to provide a breath sample at the hospital, an officer issued a “blood demand”, leading medical staff to draw blood from the driver, so his blood-alcohol level could be analyzed. A criminal impaired driving investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken with police, or anyone who observed a red 2012 two-door Honda Civic driving in the area of Dewdney Trunk Road around 3:15 am on February 5 is asked to call Mission RCMP, 604-826-7161, file 26-1577.
