Police said officers were called to the fast food restaurant on Sackville Drive in Lower Sackville, N.S. just before 3:30 a.m.

“The caller reported that the driver of a Hyundai Sonata had bumped into the building and was now falling asleep behind the wheel,” RCMP wrote in a Thursday release.
According to RCMP, an officer was already in the drive-thru line ahead of the vehicle. That officer, along with others who responded to the call, “determined that the driver was impaired by alcohol.”
