Another impaired driver was busted on Friday, November 18, thanks to concerned members of the public, as four consecutive 911 calls came in from various motorists.

The callers were reporting a blue Ford Super Duty truck that was traveling southbound on Highway 2 near the Highway 72 (Crossfield) overpass.

The vehicle was drifting from one lane to another, and varying speeds. Three Airdrie Integrated Traffic unit officers were dispatched and were able to stop the vehicle on southbound Highway 2 just south of Airdrie.

The vehicle driver, a 50-year old male from Calgary, was arrested at the scene. The driver provided breath samples in accordance with the Criminal Code that showed that his blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit. Impaired driving charges have been laid as a result of this incident.

Sheriff Jason Graw, with the Airdrie Integrated Traffic Unit, stated "This situation is a perfect example of something a member of the public can do to help make the streets safer for all of us - buckle up, observe the posted speed limit, be mindful at intersections, and call 911 when you see a driver whom you suspect to be impaired."
