Possible intoxication and a shot of irony came together Thursday night when a suspected drunk motorist crashed into a “Report Impaired Drivers” sign in View Royal and was arrested soon after.

West Shore RCMP say they discovered the downed sign after responding about 9:55 p.m. to a report of a Dodge Ram pickup involved in an incident near Craigflower and Admirals roads.

A witness told police the truck was travelling at a high speed when it went up onto the sidewalk and struck the sign.

The driver had already taken off by the time a traffic officer arrived, but escape was unlikely since the debris left behind included one of the truck’s licence plates.
