An Airdrie man is facing charges after crashing a silver Dodge truck into a light pole in an Airdrie neighborhood Wednesday night.
The incident is believed to have taken place shortly before 10pm in the Stonegate neighborhood when police received two reports of a silver Dodge truck hitting things. 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 arrested and faces several provincial charges, including failure to remain at the scene of a collision, driving without a license and operating a motor vehicle with expired registration.
Alcohol is believed to have played a role in the collision.
The driver’s vehicle was impounded for 30 days and his driver’s license was suspended under the terms of the Alberta Immediate Road Penalty Program.
