On May 1, 2013, at approximately 8:15pm, Steinbach RCMP were dispatched to a single motor vehicle collision in the RM of Ste. Anne at the corner of Provincial Road 210 and Dawson Road.
RCMP received report that witnesses observed a vehicle drive through the stop sign and ditch ending up in a field near the intersection. Witnesses on scene believed the male driver appeared to be intoxicated.
Police responded and were able to locate the suspect vehicle and the driver who was being attended to by emergency medical services. After a brief visit to the hospital, the lone male occupant was arrested for impaired driving and escorted to Steinbach Detachment to provide samples of his breath. The male provided breath samples which were analyzed to be almost double the legal limit of 80 mg%.
RCMP are continuing their investigation.
