Sheriffs stop drunk driver in car with no front wheel near High River

Alberta Sheriffs stopped a vehicle travelling on Highway 2A north of High River last week without a front tire and a significantly damaged rim.

What a bumpy ride! 

Alberta Sheriffs stopped a vehicle travelling on Highway 2A north of High River last week without a front tire and a significantly damaged rim. 

During the traffic stop, the sheriff conducted a Mandatory Alcohol screening on the driver, which they failed. The driver took an appeal and requested a second breath test, which they also failed. 

"The driver was impaired and unaware of where he was or that he had blown a tire," read a post to the Alberta Sheriffs Facebook page. 

Impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death in Canada, which "[makes] it a top priority for the Sheriff Highway Patrol and its law enforcement partners year-round."
