West Kelowna

Jun 13, 2012 / 3:40 pm
A West Kelowna woman is facing potential impaired charges after she allegedly hit a bench at a bus stop and then blew over the legal limit.
Just before 1 a.m. police were called to the 3500 block of Webber Road after receiving a report of a hit and run.
According to Cst. Kris Clark, witnesses told RCMP that a blue Mazda hit the bench at the bus stop and drove away, dragging its bumper.
"Police located the vehicle on Gorman Road and found the driver to be showing signs of impairment."
The 28-year-old failed a roadside test and was transported to the Kelowna RCMP detachment, where she provided breath samples which were twice the legal limit.
The woman, who potentially faces impaired-driving related charges, was released on a Promise to Appear for Court in August.
