EDMONTON — An operator of snow-removal equipment in Edmonton has been charged with drunk driving.
Police say several concerned citizens called in last Thursday to say a large grader was being driven erratically on Yellowhead Trail — one of the city’s main thoroughfares.
Reports indicated the grader was swerving in the lanes and driving on top of snow piles on the side of the road.
Police eventually stopped the operator who was working for a private firm contracted by the city to help clean up the streets.
Chanler Parker, 28, of Edmonton is also charged with driving while suspended.
