Just after 9:00 p.m. later that same day, an officer conducting a general patrol on Kennedy Road and Dougall Avenue observed a two-vehicle collision. While conducting the investigation, grounds were formed that one of the vehicles was being operated while impaired by alcohol. No injuries were reported.

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 an impaired driver, report it by calling 9-1-1. You can also provide information anonymously by contacting Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.peelcrimestoppers.ca. When you contact Crime Stoppers, you stay anonymous, and you never have to testify.
