VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The BC Conservatives have had to replace their candidate in North Vancouver Lonsdale.

The party says Jeff Sprague is no longer running due to an “unfortunate personal incident.”

News1130 has learned a man by the same name was picked up for impaired driving after the man hit a parked car on Thursday in North Vancouver.

The party says Sprague has stepped down, and his replacement will be named shortly.
