West Vancouver police say alcohol was a contributing factor to a rollover accident that left one car upside down on the side of Highway 1 Sunday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the Upper Levels just after 11:30 a.m. to an area between the 15th Street and Taylor Way off-ramps.
Witnesses reported seeing an older model Ford Escort slam into the centre median, then skid and roll over on to its roof.
A man and woman inside the vehicle managed to climb out on their own. Both were taken to hospital for assessment, but luckily were not seriously injured. The 19-year-old woman who was a passenger in the vehicle was kept overnight and released. The 32-year-old male driver was released earlier, on Sunday.
A dog that was in the car at the time of the accident also escaped unharmed.
Police officers at the scene suspected alcohol as a contributing factor in the crash and handed the driver a 90-day roadside administrative driving ban.
They have also recommended criminal charges of refusing to provide a blood sample against the driver.
He is expected in court in November.
North Vancouver RCMP also reported handing out one 90-day administrative driving ban this weekend after a driver blew over the limit at a road check Saturday night.
