> — | ae -Man charged with impaired

after Pat Bay highway crash

A 32-year-old Victoria man was
charged with impaired driving
after he slammed a 1970 Pontiac
into the back of a 1988 Ford sedan
while both were southbound on
the Pat Bay Highway, just north of
Island View Road, about 9:50 p.m.
Friday.

The driver, a 68-year-old
Edmonton man, and two passen-
gers in the Ford were taken to
hospital with injuries.

Police said both vehicles were
travelling in the slow lane of the
highway when the Pontiac ran into
the back of the Ford, causing
almost $20,000 total damage.

The Victoria man was also
charged with having no driver's
licence.

For ihe record

A story in last week’s Review,
““Sanscha news awaited before
town considers go-ahead on port
proposal,” incorrectly said a
building permit had earlier been
issued for the construction of a
retail building at the Port of Sid-
ney.

Actually, a development permit
— but no building permit — exists
for the building.
