A wooden balcony is teetering dangerously over a Third Avenue sidewalk, after its supports were taken out by a car yesterday afternoon.
Port Alberni RCMP Corporal Amelia Hayden said the 71-year old driver from Ucluelet was angle parking in front of the former FX nightclub when he hit the gas instead of the brake, sending the Chevrolet Malibu over the curb and into the deck supports.
The driver was unlicensed and was served with a driving prohibition and had his vehicle impounded.
