On Thursday evening the RNC responded to a single vehicle collision in St. John’s.

Multiple witnesses at the scene advised officers that they believed the male driver was showing signs of impairment.

Officers detained the 43-year-old male and he was taken to police headquarters where he underwent testing by an RNC Drug Recognition Officer.

The male was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle. He was released from custody and will appear for court at a later date.
