A man from Oromocto, N.B., faces multiple charges in connection with a single-vehicle collision in Fredericton on Friday that left a woman with critical injuries.
The Fredericton Police Force says shortly before 3:00 a.m., officers and the Fredericton Fire Department responded to reports of a crash in the 1100 block of Lincoln Road.
The passenger in the vehicle, a 32-year-old woman, was ejected from the vehicle during the crash.
She sustained critical injuries and was transported to the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital before being transferred to the Saint John Regional Hospital, where she remains in serious but stable condition.
Police say the alleged driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries before being released into police custody.
Jeffery Joseph Sacobie, 33, has been charged with impaired operation causing bodily harm and driving while prohibited.
He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 4 at 9:30 a.m.
Fredericton police say Sacobie had been banned from driving for four years at the time of the crash. They say he has seven previous convictions for impaired driving.
