RCMP Arrest Woman Following Accident in Spaniard’s Bay #nltraffic

The RCMP arrested a 38-year-old female on Thursday morning after a single-vehicle accident in Spaniard’s Bay.

At about 2:30 a.m., police responded to report of a car striking a guardrail. Officers attended and located the vehicle and the driver, who police suspected was impaired by alcohol.

The driver failed a roadside breath test, was arrested for impaired driving and was transported to the detachment where she provided breath samples that were more than the legal limit.

The woman was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date to face charges of impaired driving. Police seized and impounded the vehicle and suspended the woman’s driver’s licence.
