Police say a vehicle rear-ended a SUV that had been stopped for the work zone. The people inside the SUV were treated at the scene, and there were no other injuries, according to police.

As a result, a 54-year-old man from Thorburn has been charged with impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample.

He’s also facing charges under the Motor Vehicle Act, including driving a vehicle while licence is suspended, operating an unregistered vehicle and driving without insurance.
