Sask. RCMP vehicles damaged in impaired driving crashes
Two Saskatchewan RCMP vehicles were damaged in separate incidents involving impaired drivers. On May 19, officers received a report of an erratic driver in Tisdale, a town located about 200 kilometres south of Saskatoon, where RCMP say the driver struck the police vehicle after being pulled over. The second incident occurred on May 21 in Swift Current, where an RCMP officer was conducting a curfew check at a home when an impaired driver struck the RCMP vehicle while it was parked. No injuries were reported in either collision; however, the drivers, a man and a woman, were charged with impaired driving, police said. According to the RCMP, 41 drivers were charged with alcohol-related impaired driving offences, and three drivers were charged with drug-related impaired driving during the Canada Road Safety Week enforcement held from May 13 to 19.

According to the RCMP, 33 people have lost their lives on the roads in the province this year. 'For your own safety and the safety of others on the road – make smart choices,' said Supt. Grant St. Germaine, officer in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services. 'If you are planning to consume alcohol or drugs, make plans for a safe ride home or stay put until you're sober. Getting behind the wheel while impaired could be the worst – or last – mistake of your life.'
