Woodstock Police Force Investigating a Single Motor Vehicle Collision
The Woodstock Police Force is investigating a single motor vehicle collision that occurred early this morning on Carleton St.
At approximately 12:30 am, a side-by-side off-road vehicle rolled over, resulting in significant injuries to the occupants. Three passengers in the vehicle were transported to and remain in the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Initial investigation has determined that the driver was impaired at the time of the incident. As a result, a 21-year-old male is facing charges of 3 counts of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and refusing to provide a breath sample.
The Woodstock police urge all individuals to refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as it not only endangers the lives of those in the vehicle but also poses a significant risk to others on the road.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing with assistance being provided by the Fredericton Police Force accident reconstruction and forensic identification units. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Woodstock Police Force at (506) 325-4601.
For those who wish to provide information anonymously, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit tips online at www.crimenb.ca.
