Impaired Driving Charge for Blind River Man in Wawa

A Blind River man's facing an impaired driving charge after a disturbance outside a Wawa motel.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they were called to the unspecified motel on Mission Road around 11:30 Tuesday night, but were told a pickup truck had just left the area - the vehicle was found a short time later, with officers establishing the driver had consumed alcoholic beverages prior to operating the truck.
The 29-year-old was arrested and taken to the local detachment for further testing, leading to a charge of "operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration 80 plus", as well as a 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension, though he's been released from custody with a future court date.
His vehicle has also been impounded for seven days.
