Drunk-driving charges laid after crash into bus bench, parked cars

A Winnipeg man has been charged with drunk driving after being released from the hospital. Police say he crashed his car into a bus bench and two parked vehicles. 

Police were called to the 400 block of Hamilton Avenue in Crestview at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

They say an eastbound sedan had veered across the boulevard and westbound lanes, onto the sidewalk, into a bus bench, then into two parked cars, where it came to a stop.

The driver and passenger were taken to hospital in unstable condition, but police say they're now stable. 

A 30-year-old Winnipeg man is facing charges that include dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, driving while impaired causing bodily harm, and failing to provide a blood or breath sample.
