Two injured men were found on the road while a severely damaged vehicle was on its side nearby.
An RCMP police dog and multiple officers searched the area for additional passengers but did not locate anyone.
Police quickly determined that the car had struck a culvert and that the driver was allegedly showing signs of alcohol impairment.
The two men sustained serious injuries and were treated at the scene before being transported to the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre. The passenger of the vehicle was transported by LifeFlight to Halifax for further medical treatment.
