A 22-year-old man is facing impaired driving charges after his vehicle left the road and hit a house in Digby, N.S.

The RCMP responded to a report that a vehicle had struck a parked car and then a home on Carleton Street around 11 p.m. Monday.

When they arrived, police learned the driver had allegedly tried to flee the scene on foot, but was stopped by neighbours who witnessed the crash.

No one was injured.

Police say the driver, from Southville, N.S., appeared to be impaired. They arrested him and issued a breath demand. He was then taken to the Digby RCMP detachment and later released pending a future court appearance.

The man, who has not yet been named, will face charges of impaired operation of a conveyance and refusal to comply with demand.
