“Designated driver” crashes into Vancouver police cruiser at roadblock
VANCOUVER – Vancouver police say that a so-called “designated driver” crashed into the back of a police car at a roadblock early Sunday morning.
Sgt. Randy Fincham says the 22-year-old driver failed two breathalyzer tests following the crash, and has been released from custody pending charges.
Fincham says the driver and his three passengers were not injured in the crash, which took place around 4 a.m.
Officials say the police cruiser had its emergency lights flashing, but thankfully no officers were inside.
The crash pushed the cruiser forward by about five feet, and it will need repairs.
