A 20-year-old man from Barra Head is facing impaired driving charges after trying to avoid a traffic stop.
RCMP Northeast Traffic Services say it was October 16 around 10 p.m., when officers tried to stop a vehicle on Highway 4 in Irish Cove going more 185 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.
A few minutes later, the driver ran to a nearby home east of Big Pond after his car flipped off the highway.
The suspect was arrested shortly after and failed a breathalyzer.
He will appear in court in December.
