Vancouver police confirmed the traffic stop just before 1 a.m. on Thursday.
“The driver was a 28-year-old man with a Saskatchewan driver’s licence,” said Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison in an email. “He was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup with Saskatchewan plates.”
The premier confirmed to Global News the impounded truck is registered in his name but said he was not the driver. He called the incident “a personal matter.”
Addison said officers checked for impairment and the unidentified driver failed, resulting in an automatic 90-day driving suspension under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The vehicle was also impounded for 30 days, and the driver was ticketed for a red-light violation.
Addison said police are unable to confirm any names because no criminal charges have been laid.

The Saskatchewan premier has a driving history that emerged as an election issue during the 2020 campaign, after the son of a 38-year-old woman killed in a 1997 crash came forward to say Moe was the other driver.
Moe, who was 23 at the time of the fatal crash near Shellbrook, Sask., was ticketed for failing to stop and driving without due care and attention.
Five years earlier, he had been convicted of impaired driving.
Moe has said he has deep regrets about those “mistakes” early in his life. He agreed to meet with the woman’s son after the 2020 election, in which his Saskatchewan Party claimed a fourth-straight majority.
