Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two drivers involved in collisions with impaired-related offences.
On April 8, 2023, shortly before 2:00 a.m., a Caledon OPP officer was on a regular patrol on Mayfield Road, near The Gore Road, in the Town of Caledon. At that time, the officer witnessed a two-vehicle collision. No injuries were reported. During the investigation, one driver was arrested since grounds were formed that they were operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol.
As a result, a 36-year-old of Brampton was charged with:
• Failure or refusal to comply with demand
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on April 27, 2023, to answer to the charge. The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle impounded for 14.
On April 15, 2023, shortly after 2:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to a single motor vehicle collision on Mississauga Road, near Old School Road. No injuries were reported. Officers attended and formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
As a result of the investigation a 26-year-old of Bradford was arrested and charged with:
• Failure or refusal to comply with demand
• Operation while impaired – alcohol
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on May 4, 2023, to answer to the charges. The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle impounded for 14.
In both bases, the drivers failed or refused to comply with a breath demand. The penalty is the same as being charged with impaired operation. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect a driver to be impaired, call 9-1-1 to report it. You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.peelcrimestroppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers, you stay anonymous, and you never have to testify.
