The incident took place at 10:49 a.m. on Suzanne Street, police said in a news release.

“Initial investigation revealed that the driver of a vehicle became airborne and landed on top of a parked vehicle,” police said.

No injuries

“Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident. The officer on scene had reasonable grounds to believe that the driver was impaired by drugs.”
