Steinbach RCMP detachment was kept busy this past weekend, responding to four driving related incidents in which alcohol was a contributing factor.
On Saturday evening, Steinbach RCMP responded to two separate incidents of vehicle roll-over collisions. The first incident resulted in a fatality when the driver was ejected from the vehicle. Two other passengers in this same vehicle were seriously injured. A short time later, a second vehicle was involved in a rollover collision. There were no reported injuries in this incident and both of these collisions occurred in neighboring rural communities near Steinbach.
On Sunday, police stopped two vehicles in Steinbach for driving infractions and in each case, the driver of the vehicle was arrested for impaired driving of a motor vehicle. The driver was the lone occupant in each vehicle. Police arrested two adult males in relation to these incidents and they are facing charges of impaired operation of a motor vehicle and operating a motor vehicle over 80 mg%.
RCMP are continuing to investigate.
