ALMA, NS
A 50-year-old Canso man is facing charges after the tractor trailer he was driving ended up overturned in the median of Highway 104 in Alma.
Around 6:30 p.m. on December 12, Pictou District RCMP were responding to a call about a possible impaired driver in a truck, which was reportedly swerving between both lanes of traffic, when they were contacted about the same vehicle being overturned.
The driver was arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle at the scene before being transported to hospital in New Glasgow for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The driver is facing charges of refusal of a legal blood demand and impaired operation of a motor vehicle. He will appear in Pictou Provincial Court on February 28.
