    A new dedicated traffic investigation unit launched on the west coast on Friday and the next day during a checkpoint, two RNC officers were nearly struck by an impaired river. It happened Saturday around 6:15 p.m. on Route 450 in the Cook’s Brook area. The 63-year-old driver appeared to be impaired and failed tests at roadside and RNC headquarters in Corner Brook. He’s been charged with impaired driving and was released to appear in court at a later date. His licence was suspended and the vehicle impounded.
