Officers from West Shore RCMP arrived on scene right away and found that there were no injuries in the collision.
The driver of the Jetta was identified as a 41-year-old man from Langford who was exhibiting symptoms of drug impairment.
Police are continuing their impaired driving investigation and impaired driving charges under the Criminal Code are pending.
“We want to thank the witness for calling police. If you see dangerous driving behaviour or suspect an impaired driver call it in right away,” said Cst. nancy Saggar.
The driver in this investigation was issued a 24 hour driving prohibition. and his vehicle was impounded.
