A Kleefeld man is facing numerous charges, including impaired driving, after being arrested by Steinbach RCMP yesterday in Kleefeld, MB.
On September 20, 2013 at approximately 3:30pm, Steinbach RCMP responded to a 2 vehicle motor vehicle collision in Kleefeld, Manitoba.
Investigation revealed that a 1998 Blue Dodge Ram collided with a Pontiac Transport van at the intersection of PR 216 and College Avenue. The driver of the Dodge Ram left the scene with his vehicle without checking on the occupants of the other vehicle. It was further determined that after the collision occurred, the driver had left his 3-year-old child alone outside his residence. The child was in the vehicle at the time of the collision.
Police located the vehicle and its male driver in Kleefeld shortly after and arrested the man. The man resisted the officer, but subsequently provided breath tests which resulted in well over two times the legal limit.
An adult male from Kleefeld, Manitoba is now facing charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing bodily harm, leaving the scene of an accident, child abandonment and resisting arrest.
RCMP report that injuries sustained in this incident were life threatening and the investigation is ongoing.
