    A 33-year-old Stephenville man is still under investigation for drug impaired driving following a hit and run collision that occurred in Stephenville yesterday morning. At approximately 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, (May 29, 2025), Bay St. George RCMP responded to the report of a rear-end collision that occurred at a stop sign at an intersection on St. Georges Avenue.  The driver of the vehicle responsible for the rear-end collision left the car, spoke to the other driver and then fled from the scene.  No one was injured.
