A speed check in the school zone in front of a Kelowna elementary school on Monday resulted in one person losing their car for a week.
RCMP said that a vehicle in front of Raymer Elementary was recorded by laser at 88 km/h in the posted 30km/h school zone at around 11:30 a.m. Monday.
The driver was charged with excessive speeding and their vehicle was impounded for seven days.
