2.5 times over the limit

A two vehicle crash in Glenmore Monday evening could result in both drivers being charged.

The crash occurred shortly before 8 p.m. at the intersection of Glenmore and Kane.

According to witnesses at the scene, a northbound Ford Ranger entered the intersection on a yellow light where it collided with a southbound Ford Fiesta making a left hand turn.

The force of the crash sent the Fiesta spinning onto the centre median on the north side of the intersection.

Both vehicles suffered extensive damage. The drivers suffered minor injuries.

The 17-year-old driver of the truck was issued a ticket for failing to stop for a yellow light while police say the 26-year-old driver of the Fiesta showed signs of impairment at the scene.

He failed a roadside test and was transported to the Kelowna RCMP Detachment where he provided breath samples in excess of 2.5 times the legal limit.

He faces potential impaired driving charges and was released for Court at a later date.
