A pair of women are facing impaired driving charges following separate crashes last night.
Around 6:30, emergency crews responded to a three-vehicle collision at the corner of Lindsley Street and St George in Dresden. An 18-year-old woman was arrested, taken to police headquarters for tests, and released with a date in court later this month.
A 43-year-old Chatham woman was arrested late last night after allegedly rear-ending another vehicle that had slowed down to go around a stopped emergency vehicle on Bloomfield Road.
Meantime, Chatham-Kent Police had their hands busy during last night’s Super Bowl with RIDE checks set up in Chatham and Blenheim.
Over the course of the night, a total of 450 vehicles were stopped.
13 roadside tests were conducted, 2 drivers were handed three-day suspensions, and another 8 were charged with various violations under the Highway Traffic Act.
