Police responded after receiving reports of a large tractor-trailer truck driving erratically on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam.
The driver of a semi-tractor truck and trailer could be facing two charges of impaired driving after four parked vehicles were struck on Industrial Avenue in Port Coquitlam on Monday, Dec. 9.
Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of the BC Highway Patrol said the charges stem from a report around 3 p.m. that afternoon of a semi-trailer driving erratically on the Mary Hill Bypass.“It is unbelievable that a professional driver would consider operating a vehicle of this size while impaired,” said McLaughlin in a news release.
He added police won’t name the 42-year-old driver from Surrey until his first court appearance, scheduled for March 12, 2025, in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court.McLaughlin said the driver’s license was immediately seized and he’s facing a 90-day driving prohibition. The truck was also impounded for 24 hours. 📣 Got an opinion on this story or any others in the Tri-Cities? Send us a letter or email your thoughts or story tips to .
