This happened in Vernon!

The driver hit the left turn light at 48th Ave. and 27th St. and sheared off the light post at the base, and then kept driving on about 2 km to Squires Four Pub, where he stopped for more beer!! How drunk do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a lamp standard?

The truck was towed about 2.5 km. to the Vernon towing yard, with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and bent bumper,

It took several good hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free.

I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
