Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a driver involved in two collisions with multiple offences.
On December 28, 2023, at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers responded to a report of a vehicle in the ditch on McLaughlin Road, near Forks of the Credit Road. During the interaction with the driver, grounds were formed that their ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol and was subsequently arrested. Additional information was later received that the vehicle was also involved in a failed to remain collision on Highway 10, near Olde Base Line Road.
As a result of the investigation a 37-year-old of Georgetown was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – alcohol
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Dangerous operation
• Fail to remain
• Having care or control of a motor vehicle with liquor readily available
The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for seven. The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on January 18, 2024, to answer to the charges.
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.
