Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a driver involved in a collision with impaired operation.
On March 29, 2023, at approximately 9:49 p.m., Caledon OPP responded to a single motor vehicle collision on Horseshoe Hill Road, near The Grange Side Road, in the Town of Caledon. During the investigation, an arrest was made since officers formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol. Only minor injuries were sustained as a result of the collision.
As a result a 20-year-old of Caledon was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Young driver – B.A.C. above zero
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on April 20, 2023, to answer to the charges. The vehicle was impounded for seven days, and the driver’s licence suspended for 90 days.
Whether you are impaired by alcohol or drugs, impaired is impaired and driving under the influence of either is a criminal offence. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture.
Additionally, if you are 21 and under or have a G1, G2, M1 or M2 licence, you cannot have any drugs or alcohol in your system. You will face additional penalties in addition to consequences as any other fully licenced driver. More information available at: https://www.ontario.ca/
