A man who felt sorry for himself because of his wife leaving him led police on a 140 km.h drive from North Vancouver over Second Narrows’ Bridge and eventually crashed in Vancouver, North Van Provincial Court heard last week.

Winston William Mc- Muldrock, aged 38, pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol level ex- ceeding .08 and to dangerous driving.

Crown counsel Eric Watson said a police officer on radar duty in North Van December December 16 began following Mc- Muldrock’s Dodge pickup while it was travelling eastward because it was speeding.

He chased the truck over Second Narrows Bridge, at one time clocking it at 140 km.h, Watson said.

As the truck approached Cambridge street, the driver lost control, it swerved to the right and crashed off an abuttment. At one time the truck went over onto its side

but landed the right way up. How TO
