Fender Bender: how to prove you've stopped before the red light
This Alberta-plate Dodge truck hit the left turn light at 48th Ave and 27th St. in Vernon, B.C. and sheared off the light post at the base.
Then the driver kept driving about 2 km to Squires Four Pub, where he stopped for more beer! How impaired do you have to be to NOT notice that you are carrying a lamp standard?
The truck was towed about 2.5 km. to a Vernon towing yard, with the light still pinched between the two tow hooks and bent bumper. It took several hard pulls with a backhoe to get the pole free.
