A man faces charges after trying to avoid a police checkstop in Bible Hill. RCMP were doing it overnight Saturday on Main Street when a vehicle came at them fast, hit the concrete centre support of the overpass and took off. It eventually went off the road and the 44-year-old driver was treated in hospital. The Valley resident faces impaired driving and other charges.
