A 19-year-old man is facing impaired driving charges after a crash in Witless Bay Wednesday morning.
RCMP say the vehicle crashed on Harbour Road around 8 a.m. with reports of two men, who were believed to be impaired, running from the scene.
The driver was identified and located at a nearby home. Police say he showed signs of impairment and was taken to the local detachment where he provided breath samples that were twice the legal limit.
The young man’s licence was suspended and his vehicle was seized. He was released to appear in court at a later date.
