A woman has been charged with impaired driving after nearly hitting a flag person in a construction zone before crashing into a ditch on the Bay d’Espoir Highway.

RCMP were called around 5 p.m. Monday. It happened on Route 360 at Cat Brook. The driver provided breath samples of 210mg/100ml, well over double the legal limit, at the Bay d’Espoir Detachment.

Her vehicle was impounded and driver’s license suspended. She will appear in court Oct. 3 in Bay d’Espoir.
