A Chapleau driver's facing an impaired driving charge after a vehicle ended up in a ditch south of town.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the single vehicle collision on Highway 129 in Reaney Township - south of Highway 667 - around 2:30 am last Wednesday morning, with officers determining while speaking with the driver - who did not require medical attention - that alcohol had been consumed, leading to their arrest and transportation to the Chapleau detachment for further testing, resulting in a charge of operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).
The 46-year-old was released with a future court date, though a 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension was issued, and their vehicle's impounded for seven days.
