    RNC received a report of a speeding vehicle that had crashed into a snowbank just after 11 p.m.

    RNC officers in Corner Brook responded to a report of a speeding vehicle that had crashed into a snowbank in the area of Main Street just after 11:00 p.m. Friday night.

    Upon arrival, officers spoke with the driver and observed signs of impairment. A roadside breathalyzer was administered at the scene, which the driver failed. The female, a 37 year-old resident of Corner Brook, was then brought back to RNC headquarters where a breath sample was again provided for analysis, which was also over the legal limit. As a result, female was charged with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle.

    The driver’s vehicle was impounded and she was released to appear in court at a later date.
