Crash Leads To Impaired Driving Charge

One person is facing impaired driving charges following a two-vehicle collision in Chatham.

The Ontario Provincial Police Service said officers were called on Sunday shortly before 1 p.m. after a passenger vehicle rear-ended another passenger vehicle that was at a stop sign on the Highway 401 off-ramp at Bloomfield Road.

No serious injuries were reported.

Officers determined that the first vehicle had been the subject of multiple traffic complaints and authorities alleged that the driver was showing signs of impairment.

The driver was arrested without incident and officers conducted a drug recognition evaluation.

As a result, a 21-year-old Toronto man has been charged with impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He was also issued a 90-day driver’s licence suspension and his vehicle will be impounded for seven days.

The accused will answer the charges in court next month.
