Piccadilly teen charged with impaired driving
An underage drinker on the Port au Port Peninsula was arrested for impaired driving, after a single-vehicle accident resulted in minor injuries.
Bay St. George RCMP were called out around 3:30 a.m. Sunday in Cape St. George, where officers discovered a car on its side in the middle of the road.
When police arrived at the accident scene, the driver, an 18 year-old male from Piccadilly, and his passenger, a young woman, had already been transported to hospital in Stephenville.
The vehicle was towed, and the accused was arrested for impaired driving.
Police said he was also issued a driving suspension and was held in custody until sober.
The teen is scheduled for a court appearance in February.
Driving conditions were said to be poor at the time of the accident.
