A Halifax woman is facing impaired driving-related charges after allegedly driving on the wrong side of a Nova Scotia highway for at least 18 kilometres.
RCMP say they received a report early Monday that a small white car was travelling in the wrong direction on the on-ramp to Highway 102 at the Hammonds Plains exit.

The car had struck another vehicle on the ramp, caused minor damage, and kept going on the wrong side of the highway towards Bedford.
Responding officers then heard a second call while en route that a small white car had crashed into a ditch and was facing the wrong direction.
According to RCMP, the collision happened near Exit 4C at the Bedford Common, which is almost 18 kilometres from the location of the initial accident.
A responding Halifax Regional Police officer arrested the driver, who was “showing signs of impairment.”
