RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested a man for impaired driving following a single-vehicle crash.
On April 21, at approximately 9:45 p.m., RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash in the 2000 block of Waverley Rd. Officers learned that a truck had gone off the road and that the driver had left the scene on foot.
Upon arrival, officers located the truck in a ditch. Empty alcoholic beverage containers were found inside the vehicle.
While officers were on scene, a man approached them and indicated that he was the driver and was not injured. An officer observed signs of impairment and obtained a roadside breath sample from the man, which, resulted in a fail.
The driver, a 23-year-old man from Waverley, was arrested for impaired driving and transported to Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where he provided two breath samples, each registering 160 mg%.
The man was released pending a future court appearance.
Impaired driving puts everyone on the road at risk. Alcohol and drugs affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely, increasing the likelihood of serious injuries or death. The Nova Scotia RCMP reminds motorists to plan ahead, designate a sober driver, or arrange alternate transportation. Anyone who sees a suspected impaired driver is asked to call 911.
