Officers from the Peterborough County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged an individual after receiving a report of a possible impaired driver after their vehicle went into a ditch.

On Saturday November 2, 2024, at approximately 7:15pm, Peterborough County OPP officers received a report of a possible impaired driver on Young’s Point Road. The complainant advised that the vehicle had left the roadway going into the ditch. The complainant stopped to check on the driver who did not want any assistance. The complainant contacted the OPP providing details of what had happened. A second motorist stopped to assist and stayed with the driver until police arrived.

Officers arrived a short time later and after a brief conversation, determined that the driver was under the influence of alcohol at which point they were arrested.
