A 26-year-old Kingston woman is facing impaired driving charges after she allegedly drove her car over a median.

Kingston police, along with the fire department, got the call just after 1:30 a.m. on Friday, after reports that a vehicle jumped the curb at Brock Street and Sir John A MacDonald Boulevard.

According to police, the car crossed both northbound lanes of Sir John A. before resting on the median.

A passerby noticed the female driver and called police.

Police say a male passenger was also in the car, but fled the scene before they arrived.
