An Airdrie man is facing charges after he allegedly crashed a silver Dodge truck into a light pole in the Airdrie neighborhood Wednesday night.
The incident is believed to have happened shortly before 10pm in the Stonegate neighborhood when police received two reports of a silver Dodge truck crashing into something. The first was a light pole, followed by a nearby residential garage.
Police were able to identify the driver as an Airdrie resident. He was taken into custody and faces a number of provincial charges, including refusing to remain at the scene of a collision, driving without a license and operating a motor vehicle with an expired registration.
Alcohol is believed to have played a role in the collision.
The driver’s vehicle was impounded for 30 days and the driver’s license was suspended under the terms of Alberta’s Immediate Roadside Penalty Program.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Airdrie RCMP at 403-945-7200. Anonymous callers can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, online or by downloading the P3 Tips app available from the Apple or Google Play Store.
