RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested a woman for impaired driving following a single-vehicle crash in Lower Sackville.
On July 4, at approximately 5 p.m., RCMP officers, EHS and fire services responded to a report of a crash on the northbound Bedford Bypass off-ramp. Upon arrival, officers observed a Toyota Yaris off the roadway and on its roof and a woman who had already been removed from the vehicle.
Officers learned that the Yaris had been travelling from Dartmouth when it veered off the road into a ditch. Officers spoke with the driver and observed signs of impairment.
The 25-year-old woman from Lower Sackville was arrested for impaired driving. She was transported to the Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where she provided two breath samples of 210 mg% and 190 mg%.
She was later released and will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
Impaired driving continues to be a significant factor in preventable crashes, injuries, and fatalities on Nova Scotia roads. Consuming alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs reduces judgment, reaction time, and overall driving ability. Motorists are reminded to make safe arrangements before heading out by choosing a designated driver, taking a taxi, or using a rideshare service. Suspected impaired drivers should be reported to 911.
