The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary in Labrador West were kept busy during the weekend with several impaired drivers.
In the early morning hours of July 29, officers conducted a roadside checkpoint in Wabush following local Regatta Day celebrations. A male driver showed signs of alcohol impairment and after failing a roadside screening device, was transported to the detachment where he provided breath samples twice the legal limit.
Shortly after 1:00 a.m. on July 30, a patrol member observed a vehicle being operated erratically in Labrador City with no tail or headlights illuminated. A traffic stop was initiated, whereby the officer observed signs of impairment by alcohol. The roadside screening device was administered, resulting in the male receiving a 7 day driving suspension.
At approximately 7:20 p.m. that same evening, police received call that a vehicle had struck a light pole in Labrador City and left the area. Upon responding, officers noted substantial damage to the light pole which was now laying buckled across a driveway, with parts of the pole and vehicle scattered throughout the roadway. The vehicle was located in a driveway not far from the area. A follow up investigation resulted in the driver providing breath samples twice the legal limit.
