Lunenburg District RCMP has arrested an impaired driver after a collision in Middle New Cornwall.
On July 5, at approximately 11:48 a.m., Lunenburg District RCMP, fire and EHS, responded to a report of a collision on Cornwall Rd. RCMP officers learned that a Subaru Forester rear-ended a Massey Ferguson tractor, which was travelling in the same direction, and then fled the scene.
The driver of the tractor, a 60-year-old Middle Cornwall man, suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.
RCMP officers quickly located the Subaru and completed a traffic stop. The driver of the Subaru, a 33-year-old New Germany man, who was uninjured from the collision, was exhibiting signs consistent with drug impairment. He was arrested and transported to the Lunenburg RCMP detachment where he failed a drug evaluation.
The man was later released; he will appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court at a later date to face a charge of Operation of a Conveyance while Impaired by Drug Causing Bodily Harm.
