A Coralville man has been arrested after flipping his truck earlier this week.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office responded to Highway 6 in Iowa City just west of Gilbert Street just before 11:15 Wednesday night for a GMC Canyon that had been speeding, hit an object, then flipped over.
Deputies say the driver, identified as 45-year-old Ronald Vaillancourt of Holiday Road, showed multiple signs of intoxication. Once he was medically cleared by first-responders, Vaillancourt was given field sobriety tests, on which deputies say he performed poorly. Investigators say he also smelled of ingested alcohol and provided a blood alcohol content of .160% on a Datamatser test.
Vaillancourt was arrested and charged with Operating While Intoxicated. Iowa City Police handled the accident report and also cited Vaillancourt with Failure to Maintain Control.
