Dufferin OPP has charged a Woodbridge resident with impaired driving-related offences following a single motor vehicle collision.
On May 23rd at approximately 10:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Broadway and Blind Line where a vehicle had gone through the intersection and came to rest on its roof in a wooded area.
Due to the severity of the damage, officers quickly tried to locate the individual, as they believed the occupant may have suffered significant injuries as a result of the collision. Officers arrived on scene and began assessing the situation.
While conducting their investigation, the occupant of the vehicle who had initially left the scene prior to police arrival returned and gained entry into a fully marked police cruiser, then tried to drive away.
Dufferin County Paramedics, who were on scene, quickly intervened and placed the vehicle in park, preventing it from being moved further. The officer immediately returned to the cruiser and placed the female under arrest. An impaired driving investigation was subsequently initiated.
A 48-year-old female from Woodbridge, has been charged with:
· Operation while impaired
· Take Motor Vehicle Without Consent
· Careless driving
· no drivers licence
