“In RCMP jurisdiction this year, there have been 1,396 impaired drivers taken off the road,” stated Insp. Joe Telus, officer answerable for site visitors companies for the Manitoba RCMP.
“Impaired driving has caused 15 deaths in our area this year. People are not coming home because of someone’s choice to drive impaired, and that is not right in any way, shape or form. We are going to be out on the roadways tomorrow, and every day, with the goal of getting everyone home safely.”
