QUEBEC CITY -- A young driver who police say was driving in an advanced state of intoxication lost control of his vehicle on Thursday night in Quebec City and hit two cars and a house before flipping his car.
The Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) reports that the suspect does not appear to have been injured. He underwent a breathalysed and found to have more than double the legal limit.
His 26-year-old female passenger suffered minor injuries during the swerve.
The driver's vehicle ended its run shortly after 12:30 a.m. at the intersection of Antonio-Patry Street and Père-Lelièvre Boulevard, in a residential area.
The first police officers from the SPVQ arrived on the scene and found that the driver, a 23-year-old man, was showing signs of alcohol intoxication.
He was then arrested and transported to a police station to await his court appearance, which is expected to take place later Thursday.
