An accident on Highway 3A near Shoreacres has sent three people to hospital after two vehicles collided near Kelly Road.

“We are still investigating the incident, but we are suspecting that the 27-year-old man was impaired and that played a factor in the collision,” says Nelson RCMP Cpl. Derek Pitt.

RCMP are still investigating the collision and have informed The Goat that charges have not been laid.
