Share

A late-night crash in the Highlands has left a driver seriously injured.

According to West Shore RCMP,  the man is now facing multiple charges and should not have been behind the wheel in the first place.

The single-vehicle collision occured at around 11:17 p.m. on April 9th, near the 1400 block of Millstream Road.

According to police, a grey 2018 BMW X5 slammed into a rock face and flipped, causing significant damage to the vehicle.

Investigators determined the SUV was uninsured and the 41-year-old driver was under a court-ordered driving prohibition at the time of the crash.

The driver suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital for treatment.

Police say the man was arrested for driving while prohibited and issued violation tickets for having no insurance and for speed relative to conditions.

An impaired driving investigation is also underway, as officers believe alcohol or drugs may have played a role in the crash.
