Charges have been laid against a Norfolk County man after a wild ride through Lambton County.

Provincial Police were initially contacted Sunday morning about a vehicle heading west on Lambton Line on three wheels.

Officers followed over 80 kilometres of damaged road to find the broken-down vehicle, and after speaking with driver, suspected he’d been drinking.

The 20-year-old from Port Rowan has been charged with operation while impaired, failing to report damage to property on a highway, and operating an unsafe vehicle.

The accused was released from custody with a future court date.
