New Brunswick Woman Charged After Alleged Drunk Driver Hits Police Cruiser

The Canadian Press, 13 Jan, 2017 01:03 PM
    SHEDIAC, N.B. — An alleged drunk driver hit the wrong car Wednesday night: a police cruiser.
     
    New Brunswick RCMP say an officer investigating a complaint about a possible impaired driver saw a car mishandle an exit ramp in Shediac and instead drive directly into a cruiser.
     
    They say the vehicles were badly damaged, but both drivers were treated at the scene for only "minor injuries."
     
    Police say breath samples showed the motorist to have a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
     
    It's alleged the vehicle involved in the crash was the same one reported earlier.
     
    Police say a 24-year-old Dieppe woman was released and is to appear in court in April on impaired driving charges.
