Lacombe Police Service arrested a man with impaired driving following a collision over the weekend.

Police say on Aug. 15 at approximately 9:21 p.m., they responded to Blackstone Avenue after reports indicated a pickup truck was performing burnouts before losing control and hitting multiple parked vehicles.

Within a few minutes of arrival, police found a grey Dodge Ram 3500 partially on the front lawn of a home. The truck had hit a parked Nissan and two motorcycles.

No injuries were reported, but police say the driver had displayed signs of alcohol impairment and was arrested.

Breath testing later produced readings of 180 mg% and 190 mg%—more than twice the legal limit.
