One person was arrested after a collision on Hwy. 103 in Maitland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 13, at approximately 8 p.m., Lunenburg District RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at a construction site on Hwy 103. Through investigation on scene, RCMP officers determined that a westbound Mazda 3 rear-ended a Ford Windstar at the construction site’s temporary traffic signal and then struck a parked excavator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While interacting with officers, the driver of the Mazda, a 42-year-old New Glasgow man, exhibited signs of impairment. He was arrested and transported to the Cookville RCMP detachment where he provided breath samples that registered at 160mg%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, who was traveling with one other person at the time of the collision, was later released. He is scheduled to appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court on October 2, 2024, to face charges of Impaired Operation of a Conveyance and Impaired Operation over 80mg%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver and passenger of the Ford, who were from <\/a>Germany, were assessed by EHS, and the passenger was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hwy. 103 was closed for over an hour while police investigated the cause of the collision and the scene was cleared of debris. Fire service and EHS also attended with RCMP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road safety is a priority for the Nova Scotia RCMP and we continue to encourage members of the public to call\u00a0911\u00a0if they suspect impaired driving. It could save a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
