Police say the Yellow Cab driver rear-ended another vehicle around 8:30 p.m., near Cambie Street and 37th Avenue.

Both drivers were treated by paramedics at the scene, and released without injuries.

But police say an investigation by officers at the scene led to the cabbie being charged with “fail or refuse to provide a breath sample.”
