A drunk driver will face court next month after he lost control and crashed into a parked car this morning.
The 35-year-old was driving a Mazda 6 west along Sandy Point Road at Corlette, just before 5am, when he rolled the vehicle, which landed on its roof near Foreshore Drive.
The man wasn’t injured but returned a positive breath test.
He was taken to Nelson Bay Police Station and returned a high-range breath analysis reading of 0.176.
He was charged, and his licence was suspended.
He’ll appear in Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday, January 25.
An infrastructure malfunction caused the water to not properly refill into the Rockwood Park water reservoir.
As a result, the Department of Health told Saint John Water to impose a boil water order.
The water should not be consumed without boiling it first.
It should come to a rolling boil for at least one minute and cooled before using.
Bottled water can be used for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, juice, coffee or tea.
JUST IN: The City of Saint John has issued a boil water order for 300 residents in the Rockwood Park Area. It includes Anglin Drive, Hawthorne Avenue and Sandy Point Road. The boil water order is needed following an infrastructure malfunction.
amanda raus has been there. it has engulfed at least two homes. amanda, good morning to you. what s the latest? reporter: we are live in old saybrook. if you look over my shoulder here, you can see the fire is still burning at chalker beach. we re on sandy point road. that fire has been burning since 9:00 and looks a lot better than it has in the past few hours as it starts to burn down, the house that was standing up there now burning to the ground. the problem that we had here was that fire personnel could not get there to chalker beach. chalker beach is surrounded by water and the floods there really put the water up about three to four feet and we re actually told it s still up three to four feet so what happened was a neighbor called in the fire saying that two homes were burning over there and that neighbor actually had to be rescued because the neighbor did not heed the mandatory evacuation order that was given for chalker beach.
