Drunk Zamboni driver arrested after crashing into the boards
A drunk Zamboni driver was arrested after he crashed into the boards while cleaning the ice.
A surprising case of drunk driving occurred off the roads in Gatineau, near Ottawa, when a Zamboni driver was arrested for being under the influence. The incident took place Monday evening at the Meredith Center arena in Chelsea, where the man crashed the ice resurfacing machine into the boards.
Local authorities released footage showing the driver wearing a hoodie as he operated the Zamboni. An official approached him, but what they said to the impaired driver wasn't clear. Though the machine wasn't moving quickly, it's obvious the driver lost control, hitting the boards with a noticeable thud.
The collision didn't happen at high speed, but it still caused some damage. Authorities reported that a door and the boards were damaged in front of several witnesses.

The driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol and was arrested on the spot by Public Security police officers from the MRC des Collines-de-l'Outaouais. His driver's license was suspended, though he was released while awaiting trial.
Fortunately, no one was hurt during the incident, but it served as a reminder that the dangers of drunk driving can happen in unexpected places, even behind the wheel of a Zamboni.
