In once case, the driver, a 40-year-old man, showed signs of impairment and was driving while prohibited, stemming from a recent court conviction for impaired driving.
Deer Lake RCMP caught two impaired drivers in one day this past weekend. Cpl Jolene Garland says on Saturday ( April 5th) at around 3 p.m., they conducted a traffic stop. The driver, a 40-year-old man, showed signs of impairment and was driving while prohibited, stemming from a recent court conviction for impaired driving. The man is set to appear in court at a later date and his vehicle was impounded.
Later that day, at around 4:15 p.m., RCMP responded to a report of a collision between two vehicles on the Trans-Canada Highway near Pynn’s Brook. Garland says a female driver showed signs of alcohol impairment. Police are awaiting lab results from blood samples to determine whether charges of impaired operation against the 43 year old woman are appropriate. The matter is still under police investigation.
