An alleged impaired driver faces driving prohibitions following a single-vehicle rollover Tuesday evening in Glenmore.
Just moments before 6 p.m., emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of a single-vehicle rollover on Valley Road North at Sexsmith Road in 麻豆精选.
RCMP arrived on scene to find the assumed driver of a heavily-damaged green Toyota pickup truck being treated by paramedics.

Witnesses on scene told police the pickup was observed swerving moments before it appeared to hit rocks and then rollover.
Witnesses stopped to assist the driver and remained on scene until police arrived.
鈥淩CMP investigators entered into an impaired-driving investigation as a result of observations made of the driver at the crash scene,鈥� says Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey.
鈥淎s a result, a demand was made and the male driver provided samples of his breath roadside, which resulted in a fail.鈥�
The driver, a 31-year-old 麻豆精选 man, was transported to hospital by BC Ambulance. He was medically cleared and later released from hospital care.
RCMP have since issued the 麻豆精选 man with a driving prohibition. He now faces the fines and fees associated to the prohibition as a result of allegedly operating his motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol.
RCMP are interested in hearing from any additional witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, those witnesses are asked to contact the 麻豆精选 RCMP at 250-762-3300.
