A 20-year-old Stephenville man was arrested for impaired driving following a crash before daylight this morning.

RCMP were called to the scene around 5:30 a.m. this morning after a vehicle crashed into a fence on Gallant Street.

The driver escaped injury, but failed a roadside breath test, and was arrested at the scene.

The accused has been released to appear in court at a later date. His vehicle was seized and impounded.
