The incident happened March 13 just after 8:00 a.m. when the West Hants RCMP received a report of a car “driving erratically” on Highway 101 near Windsor, N.S. Officers found the vehicle once while driving, and a second time parked just off the road. Both times the driver sped away from police. On the second interaction, police noted that the car’s licence plate was reported stolen.

The officer saw the car coming and turned on the lights to signal for the vehicle to stop. “Immediately after overtaking the police vehicle, the car hit the median concrete divider and the guard rail, then stopped after hitting the median a second time,” the RCMP release reads. The teen driver from Dartmouth was arrested and was sent to hospital. Police searched the vehicle and found cocaine and a knife, which led to the teen being charged with operation while impaired by drug, possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, and possession for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine). The youth appeared in Windsor court on March 14 and remains in custody. “There were no other vehicles involved in this crash and no reports of collisions with other vehicles,” the release notes. “Police appreciated cooperation from the public while a portion of Hwy. 101 was reduced to one lane as officers were on scene after the crash.” Officials are asking anyone with dashcam footage or surveillance video showing the crash or the actions leading up to it should contact West Hants RCMP Detachment at 902-798-2207. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Professors, students say Nova Scotia university bill threatens academic freedoms next post Cold front to bring rain, freezing rain to parts of Nova Scotia You may also like Sullivan children still missing after Mounties search nearby... 13 مايو، 2025 Nova Scotia MPs Sean Fraser and Lena Diab... 13 مايو، 2025 N.S. accepting new seafood buyer and processor licences... 13 مايو، 2025 Pilot shortage raises concerns as wildfire season begins... 13 مايو، 2025 Bail hearing to continue Tuesday for Halifax teenager... 13 مايو، 2025 Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for vehicle before... 13 مايو، 2025 Housing affordability crisis a focus as national conference... 13 مايو، 2025 كارني وأعضاء مجلس وزرائه الـ38 يؤدّون اليمين الدستورية 13 مايو، 2025 مكسيكو تتوقع مراجعةً مبكرة لاتفاق التجارة الحرة مع... 13 مايو، 2025 الأسلحة النارية: ’’البوليتكنيك تتذكر‘‘ تحثّ كارتي على الوفاء... 13 مايو، 2025
