Two more drivers are facing impaired driving charges after a busy weekend for the Caledon OPP.
Police say they were conducting a RIDE spot check in the area of Learmont Avenue and Larson Peak Road on Monday evening.
Officers say a vehicle entered the area shortly after 9:00 p.m. and the driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol.
A 43-year-old resident of Caledon was charged with:
- Operation while impaired – alcohol
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Driving motor vehicle with unsealed container of liquor
And just a few hours later, Caledon OPP say they responded to a single vehicle collision in the area of King Street near Airport road.
Officers say they located a vehicle in the ditch shortly after midnight, and found the driver to be under the influence of alcohol.
A 36-year-old resident of Brampton was charged with:
- Operation while impaired – alcohol
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Operation motor vehicle without insurance
- Driving motor vehicle with liquor readily available
Both suspects are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in January to answer to the charges.
Drivers are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving. 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.
