After a pickup truck knocked over a lamp standard, hit a tree and came to a stop by a hedge near a residential property on Cadboro Bay Road on Monday, an Oak Bay police officer saw something else of note.
The 25-year-old driver had an empty beer can in his pants pocket.
A breathalyzer was administered and the man registered a “fail.”
He was given an immediate 90-day driving prohibition and had his vehicle impounded for 30 days.
