Moose mishap costs driver

Gregory Thomas Jones, 29, was fined $1,500 after pleading guilty to violating a driving prohibition.

The Iqaluit resident was driving outside Grand Falls, New Brunswick, on Dec. 21 when he hit a moose and totaled his ’94 Pontiac Sunbird.

Jones’s driver’s licence had been suspended after a Sept. 9 impaired driving charge in Iqaluit and he was ordered by the court not to operate a vehicle.

The driving prohibition remains in effect.
