The accident has been reconstructed and blood tests were conducted on the driver, according to a press release from Police Chief Roger Beaupre. Police are consulting with the state medical examiner and the York County district attorney on what charges will be brought.
Beatson apparently lost control of a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier on a gradual curve outbound on West Street, was going well above the posted speed limit, and crashed into the garage, doing extensive damage to the structure, Beaupre said.
