RCMP say all three drivers were impaired by alcohol

Halifax District RCMP charged three people with impaired driving within an hour early Saturday morning.

RCMP say all three drivers were impaired by alcohol.

A 28-year-old man from Waterville was the first one charged just before 12:30 a.m. on March 30, when an officer pulled over a vehicle on Sackville Dr. in Lower Sackville.

Mounties were then called to a single-vehicle crash on Hwy. 7 in Head of Chezzetcook just after 1 a.m. The driver, a 27-year old Bedford woman, was the only one in the car at the time.

A 24-year-old Middle Sackville man was the sole occupant of another car involved in a single-vehicle crash reported at 1:17 a.m. on Sackville Dr. in Middle Sackville.

"Thankfully, no one was injured in these incidents, but driving impaired increases the risk of death and serious injury for all road users," RCMP said in a news release.

They ask anyone who suspects an impaired driver to call 911.

"Include as many details as possible, such as the location, direction of travel, vehicle description and license plate number," they said.
