Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a driver on Highway 10 with impaired operation.
On January 8, 2024, just after 1:00 a.m., an officer on patrol on Highway 10 located a vehicle on the shoulder near Hurontario Street. During the interaction with the driver, grounds were formed that their ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
As a result of the investigation a 54-year-old of Orangeville was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
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 25, 2024, to answer to the charge.
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.
