Crash Leads To Impaired Driving Charges

A Wallaceburg man is facing impaired driving charges following a single-vehicle crash on Highway 40 in Chatham-Kent.

The Ontario Provincial Police said officers responded to the collision on the highway shortly before 4 a.m. on Saturday.

The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle was not injured, however, police alleged he was showing signs of impairment.

Authorities allege the man failed a roadside screening test and he was taken to police headquarters for further tests.

The accused was also issued a 90-day driver’s licence suspension and his vehicle will be impounded for seven days.
