Vancouver Police have located and ticketed the driver of a vehicle who was caught on camera ignoring traffic control devices in Vancouver on Thursday following the windstorm. The driver was issued the ticket at his home on Sunday.

In news footage, a vehicle is seen driving through a cordoned-off area toward firefighters responding to a 9-1-1 call about fallen power lines near Dunbar Street and Southwest Marine Drive.

The driver was issued a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act for “drive without reasonable consideration,” which carries a $196 fine.
