A C.B.S. man has been charged with impaired following an early morning collision on the TCH in St. John’s.

Emergency crews first responded to reports of a multi-vehicle collision near the Team Gushue Highway, just after 8 a.m.

Police say a pickup truck travelling in the eastbound lane rear ended a sedan, resulting in that vehicle crossing the median and colliding with an SUV travelling westbound.

The drivers of the sedan and SUV were taken to hospital for what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries.

The 33-year-old driver of the truck has now been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm. His license has been suspended.

The investigation remains active and anyone with information is asked to contact the RNC or Crime Stoppers.

Meanwhile, while attending to the accident police noticed numerous drivers slowing down to take pictures and videos of the scene on their cell phones.

As a result, seven drivers have been ticketed.
