An enforcement officer located the bus and conducted a traffic stop near the intersection of Harvey Avenue and Burch Avenue in Kelowna. During that interaction, the bus driver exhibited several signs of impairment and subsequently failed a roadside breath test.

The driver, a 52 year old man, was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP)
