Woman suspected of impaired following crash in Gibsons

RCMP on the Sunshine Coast were called to an incident in Gibsons that could have ended in tragedy.

Staff Sargent Poppy Hallam said police were called to the 400 block of Gower Point Road just after 5 o’clock yesterday (Thurs) afternoon.

“Our officers arrived to find a female, aged 63, from lower Gibsons with obvious signs of impairment. She had been driving a blue pick up truck which had gone off the road and struck a tree after hitting a signpost. The officers arrested her for suspicion of impaired driving.”

Hallam said the woman was taken to the Gibsons detachment where there is a breathalyzer but she refused to provide samples and is facing charges for that refusal.

Hallam said there were a number of people out in the area at the time and it’s fortunate no one was struck by the truck.
