MEDICINE HAT, AB — A 57-year-old woman has been charged after a vehicle struck the outside of a pub in Southridge Tuesday afternoon.

Medicine Hat police were called to Jiggers Pub at 12:18 p.m. after a Ford Edge ran into the front of the building.

There were no injuries to anyone inside of the pub. Police believe alcohol was a factor in the collision.

Police say the driver of the Ford Edge is facing one charge of failure to provide a breath sample at the scene, and one charge of one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. She has since been released from police custody, and police say no further charges are expected.
