A crash involving a police cruiser has landed a Chatham man with impaired driving charges.
Sunday afternoon, Chatham-Kent Police received a call about a suspected drunk driver on Longwoods Road between Kent Bridge and Huffs Side Road.
As police tried to stop the vehicle, the driver allegedly veered into oncoming traffic and struck a cruiser.
The driver and one officer were taken to hospital, treated for their injuries, and released.
An 85-year-old man has been charged with having a blood alcohol level over the legal limit, and will be back in court to face the charges next month.
