Corner Brook RNC Track Down Impaired Driver

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary tracked down an impaired driver in Corner Brook over the weekend.

Just before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, RNC observed a red pick-up truck on Lewin Parkway travelling at a high rate of speed. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, however the vehicle failed to stop for police. The suspect vehicle was located a short time later on Broadway, where the vehicle was stopped by patrol officers.

The operator of the vehicle, a 36-year-old woman from Ontario, was charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle over the legal limit. She was issued a driving suspension and the vehicle was seized at the scene. The accused was released from custody to appear in Provincial Court at a later date.
