KAMLOOPS — Police impounded a 43-year-old Mission man’s lifted Dodge pickup truck after he was caught driving 88 km/h over the highest posted speed limit in B.C.
Police officials said the northbound driver was stopped last Friday (April 10) when an officer spotted him travelling much faster than other traffic along the Coquihalla, just south of Kamloops.
“This pickup was hard to miss, with its lifted suspension and a laser radar reading of 208 km/h in a 120 zone,” said BC Highway Patrol spokesperson Cpl. Michael McLaughlin.
“No vehicles are safe at those speeds on public roads, but a heavy truck that is high off the ground is even more unstable than other traffic.”
