The Sault Ste Marie Police Service had a relatively quiet day yesterday responding to 60 calls for assistance.

MOTOR VEHICLES INVOLVED

Eleven of those calls were for motor vehicle collisions. One of the collisions, at the intersection of Huron St and Albert St.W., resulted in minor injuries but medical attention was not required. In the accident a vehicle being driven by Lindsay Bishop, 20, of St. Ignace, Mich. was struck by a vehicle being driven by Tracy Mercer, 28, of 484 Albert St.W.
Lindsay Bishop was charged under the Highway Traffic Act offence of Disobeying a Red Light- failing to Stop.

Yesterday evening, at approx. 7:30 PM, an unknown person called the Sault Ste Marie Police Services to advise that they were possibly following an Impaired Driver. The caller advised the police that the suspect driver was driving in an erratic manner and had hit the snow bank on two occasions. The caller followed the vehicle until police arrived and stopped the driver.

Subsequently the driver, Theresa Dunster, 43, of 92 Wemyss St was arrested for impaired diving. Mrs. Dunster will appear in court on Jan.19/04 on Charges of Impaired Driving and Failing to Provide a Breath Sample.

The Sault Ste Marie Police Service would like to thank the anonymous citizen for his/her assistance in making our streets safer. Thank you.
