He said the 21-year-old driver was still sitting in the driver’s seat.
“The officer spoke with him and determined that although he wasn’t impaired by alcohol or drugs, he was extremely fatigued from working late while taking university courses.
Const. Burns said the man was told how that can be just as dangerous to himself and other motorists.
“The officer warned him of the dangers of driving while tired and how it can sometimes be just as dangerous as driving while impaired by drug or alcohol,” said Const. Burns.
