    Officers pulled into the driveway, blocking it and that’s when the vehicle reversed into the marked police vehicle. 

    RCMP are waiting on toxicology reports to determine whether charges will be laid against a woman after she was involved in a crash in Hearts Desire on April 15th. Police were called to a two vehicle crash around 3:30 that afternoon. The driver of one vehicle fled the scene in another vehicle.  Police noticed the vehicle in the oncoming lane, traveling at a high rate of speed head-on towards the marked police cruiser. RCMP swerved to avoid a collision, turned around to attempt a traffic stop and saw the suspect vehicle pull into a residential driveway in Hearts Content.  Officers pulled into the driveway, blocking it and that’s when the vehicle reversed into the marked police vehicle.  The driver, a 23-year-old woman, showed signs of drug impairment.  She was arrested for impaired operation, flight from police and dangerous operation and is under investigation for assault with a weapon. The driver involved in the Hearts Desire crash, a 26-year-old man, was unlicensed and was operating a vehicle without insurance or registration.  No one was injured.
