MEDICAL CONDITION, NOT IMPAIRED DRIVING, CAUSE OF MVC
On July 14, East Hants RCMP received a call about a vehicle in the ditch and the driver displaying signs of impairment in East Uniacke.
On arrival, the officer agreed with the witness’ observations of the driver after noticing that his speech was slurred, he had trouble maintaining balance, and difficulty with fine motor skills.
The 27-year-old was placed under arrest for impaired operation by drug and transported to the Enfield Detachment where a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) conducted an evaluation on him.
