Wabigoon man charged with impaired driving for second time in a month

An incident at the Laura Howe Marsh in Dryden has led to impaired driving charges against a man from Wabigoon Lake First Nation.

Provincial Police say a vehicle rapidly accelerated in the parking lot, causing it to launch over a snowbank into a ditch.

The 33-year-old driver later fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later.

He has been charged with dangerous driving and impaired driving.

Police say the same person was charged earlier last month after live-streaming while consuming illicit substances and operating a motor vehicle.

He is to appear in court at a future date.
