RCMP release:

RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested an impaired driver following a single-vehicle crash in Hubley.

On February 20, at approximately 12:35 a.m., officers responded to a report of a crashed vehicle in the 3800 block of St. Margarets Bay Rd.  Officers learned that a Subaru Forester had been travelling north when it struck a snowbank, collided with a parked truck, and continued down the road before hitting a power pole.  

Officers arrived on scene and located the driver, who was out of the vehicle and uninjured.  The man, a 40-year-old from Westphal, showed signs of impairment and was arrested for impaired driving.  He was transported to the Tantallon RCMP Detachment, where he provided two breath samples registering 160 mg% and 160 mg%. 

The man was released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court at a later date. 

The road was closed for several hours but has since reopened. 

Impaired driving puts everyone at risk. Every time someone chooses to drive under the influence, they endanger themselves, their passengers, and the entire community. To report an impaired driver, call 911.
