RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested two men for impaired driving following two separate single-vehicle crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 11, at approximately 3 p.m., officers responded to a report of a white SUV with roof racks in the ditch between the landfill and Sheet Harbour. Officers patrolled the area, and further west to Spry Bay, but did not locate the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 3:50 p.m., a second report was received regarding a white vehicle in the ditch near Boutilier\u2019s Settlement Rd. in Spry Bay. Officers made an immediate patrol and located a Jeep Grand Cherokee with roof racks in the ditch, with a driver inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers spoke with the driver and observed signs of impairment. A roadside breath sample was obtained, which resulted in a fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 20-year-old man from Fall River was arrested for impaired driving. He was transported to the Sheet Harbour RCMP Detachment, where he provided two breath samples registering 90 mg% each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was released and will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later on June 11, at approximately 9:15 p.m., officers, EHS and fire services responded to a single-vehicle crash in the 2000 block of Crowell Rd. Upon arrival, officers located a Volkswagen GTI in the ditch with two injured passengers. The vehicle appeared to have left the road and collided with a driveway culvert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers learned that firefighters had located the driver leaving the scene and brought him back to the crash site. While speaking with the driver, an officer observed signs of impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver, a 19-year-old man from Three Fathom Harbour, was arrested for impaired driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver and two passengers, a 19-year-old man from Head of Chezzetcook and an 18-year-old man from Grand Desert, were transported to hospital by EHS with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While at the hospital, a sample of the driver\u2019s blood was obtained for analysis at a forensic lab to determine blood alcohol concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impaired driving is a leading factor in serious collisions and remains a significant threat to public safety on our roads. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before consuming alcohol or drugs and to always choose a safe way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
