Impaired driver allegedly crashed into N.S. RCMP detachment
A Nova Scotia RCMP detachment was damaged after an impaired driver allegedly crashed into the building in Waycobah early Thursday morning.
According to an RCMP news release, officers responded to a reported impaired driver travelling on Highway 105 around 2:44 a.m. Police learned the driver had allegedly stolen a black Chevrolet Equinox and was heading towards the Waycobah RCMP Detachment.
Police found the vehicle, which fled westbound on Reservation Road. The driver sped past a police car, forcing the officer to take evasive actions to avoid a collision.
The suspect allegedly drove over the detachment’s lawn and crashed into a Nissan Micra before hitting the detachment itself.
Police arrested the driver and later took her to hospital for a medical assessment. The detachment was damaged on the outside and inside, but it remains open.
Trinity Bernard, 24, was charged with:
- dangerous operation of a conveyance
- flight from peace officer
- two counts of mischief
- impaired operation of a conveyance
- refusal of a demand
The investigation is ongoing.
