The driver of a crashed Mercedes that hung precariously over the edge of the Grandview/Highway 1 off ramp this weekend has been handed a 90-day driving ban and may face charges after blowing over the legal limit, according to the Burnaby RCMP.
The crash happened at about 5:40 a.m. on Saturday morning.
It’s still under investigation, but police say it appears the Mercedes rear-ended a truck towing a trailer with an ATV on it before slamming into the guardrail and raining debris down onto the highway below.
There were five people in the Mercedes but no one was seriously hurt, according to police.
The Burnaby RCMP told the NOW the driver, a man in his mid-20s, failed a roadside alcohol test and was arrested and taken to the police station.
He has since been ordered to surrender his passport and released on the condition he not leave the province, according to police.
He has a court date set for October.
Cleanup after the crash lasted several hours.
