A woman who survived an attempt on her life 11 years ago is now recovering from new injuries, the result of her car being struck from behind by a suspected impaired driver.

The Fredericton Police Force confirmed officers responded to a collision on the Princess Margaret Bridge the night of July 31.

The force reported on Facebook that night that the bridge was closed for a couple of hours due to the incident.
