RCMP received a call of a single vehicle rollover on the perimeter highway. The sole occupant, who appeared to be impaired, was found in the backseat of the vehicle, claiming he only had one drink prior to the collision.

The vehicle owner opened a damage claim which was paid by MPI. However, the man’s hospital blood samples were ultimately seized and it was confirmed that at the time of the collision his blood alcohol concentration was between .156 and .193.

The man entered a guilty plea to Making a False Statement. He received a fine of $2,900 and ordered to pay full restitution of $24,442 to Manitoba Public Insurance.
