ATV operator pleads not guilty to impaired driving charges in relation to Richmond Co. crash

A man airlifted to Halifax hospital following an ATV crash in Richmond Co. has entered not guilty pleas.

Members of the St. Peter’s RCMP detachment responded to a single-vehicle crash involving an all-terrain vehicle on Forchu Rd. in March.

The man, who was from Red Islands, was taking part in an ATV rally in L’Ardoise.

Police say he was taken to local hospital by paramedics with non-life-threatening injuries, and later airlifted to Halifax.

Peter Campbell, 51, was arrested for impaired driving and refusing to provide a blood sample; he had an arraignment hearing in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court Monday.

Campbell wasn’t in court, so his lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf; he’s scheduled to stand trial Oct. 5.
