Road rage rampage?

Woman faces charges after alleged drunken incident

A Sunday drive proved anything but relaxing for a trio of people who somehow ran afoul of a woman police allege was a raging, drunk driver.

In a release, Winnipeg police said their initial contact was on Sept. 19 at about 10 p.m., when a driver reported someone driving erratically in the south intersection of Pembina Highway and Bairdmore Blvd./dalhousie Dr.

Officers then responded to another caller in the Sage Creek area who reported being rammed multiple times by the same vehicle. A third caller then reported seeing the vehicle collide with a light standard and drive through a fenced yard, police said.

The Air-1 helicopter located the suspect vehicle in a restaurant drive-through in the first 100 block of Sage Creek Blvd., where officers then found a 37-year-old woman behind the wheel of a vehicle with extensive damage and placed her under arrest, police said.

The Winnipeg woman is facing charges of impaired driving, assault with a weapon and fail or refuse to comply with a demand. She was released on an undertaking.

Police believe that after the initial call of erratic driving, the suspect began to “aggressively tailgate” a male driver unknown to her on the Perimeter Highway, flashing her headlights and slowing down in front of him.

She later rammed the vehicle several times, police said.

The man drove to a nearby parking lot where the suspect continued to ram his vehicle, they said.

She eventually lost control of the vehicle and the man was able to flee.
