Man arrested for drunk driving after crashing his pickup into a business's front door

MONTREAL -- A man was arrested for possible drunk driving after his vehicle crashed into a store in Montreal.

An emergency call was placed at about 2:30 a.m., indicating that a pickup truck smashed into a business front door in the Riviere-des-Prairies area of Montreal.

Montreal police arrived at the scene and found the 33-year-old man without any visible injuries.

Montreal police spokeswoman Caroline Chevrefils says the man appeared to be intoxicated and was transported to a detention centre for a breathalyzer test.

Chevrefils says that the store damages were mostly found inside, without specifying the name of the business.

The investigation is ongoing and charges are yet to be laid.
