As a result, Amanpreet GREWAL, 28, of Caledon, was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Having care or control of a motor vehicle with open container of liquor.
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on October 26, 2023, to answer to the charges. The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle impounded for 14.
Motorists are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving. 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. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.peelcrimestoppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers, you stay anonymous, and you never have to testify.
