A Victoria woman has been charged with impaired driving and failing to provide a breathalyzer tonight
after officers found her unconscious behind the wheel, with her vehicle running and her child strapped in the back seat.
Police were called to the 100-block of Gorge Road East after passersby noted the driver of a stopped vehicle appeared to be unconscious with a young child in the car.
VicPD's Bowen Osoko says when officers arrived, they had to break a passenger side window to gain access to the vehicle and rescue the occupants. It was then that they noted evidence indicating the driver may be impaired by drugs and alcohol."The officer's at the scene are affected, not because it was a bloody scene but because it could have been horrible."
The child is doing well and is with the grandparents tonight.
