One person is facing charges following a single-vehicle crash in the east end of St. John’s on Saturday evening.

The incident happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. on East White Hills Road, near Quidi Vidi Lake. The driver of a northbound car lost control of the vehicle, drove onto a grassy embankment on one side of the road before veering across to strike a guardrail on the opposite side of the street. The crash caused significant damage to the vehicle.

Officers with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary have charged a forty-four year old male with Impaired Driving, Refusal, and Public Mischief. He was held for court. His vehicle was impounded.
