Drunken U-turn led to collision
May 1 crash served as “eye opener” for Angela Jeaninne Chase-Thibodeau, 61, of Fredericton, who realized depth of her alcohol issue as result, defence lawyer tells court
A Fredericton woman who crashed into another car when she had more than double the legal limit of booze in her system was ordered Tuesday to undergo treatment for her substance-abuse issue.
Angela Jeaninne Chase-Thibodeau, 61, of Rolling Hill Drive in the Pepper Creek area of the capital, appeared in Fredericton provincial court with defence lawyer Ron Morris on Tuesday for sentencing.
She’d previously pleaded guilty to having an elevated blood-alcohol level within two hours of driving on May 1 in Fredericton.
Crown prosecutor Daniel Standing said police were dispatched to the Route 8 bypass in Fredericton mid-afternoon May 1 after receiving a report of a two-vehicle accident between a Kia Soul and a Buick.
