Impaired driving charges have been laid after a vehicle ended up in a ditch east of Chapleau.
Superior East OPP say they responded to the single vehicle collision on Highway 101 in Chewit Township early last Wednesday morning, and - while speaking with the driver - officers determined he'd consumed an alcoholic beverage, so he was taken to the Chapleau detachment for further testing, resulting in the 51-year-old Timmins man's arrest on charges of operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs and operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).
Set to appear in court next month, the man was also issued a 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension and the vehicle impounded for seven days.
OPP remind the public that - if you see a possible impaired driver on roads, waterways, or trails - "make the call" and dial 9-1-1.
