In Police Blotter

Officers from the Peterborough County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) charged an individual with impaired driving after receiving a call from EMS.

On March 28, 2025, at approximately 5:15pm, Peterborough County OPP Officers were dispatched to a reported unconscious driver at the side of Wallace Point Road. A passerby contacted EMS and managed to get into the vehicle to check on the well being of the driver.

Once at the hospital, after ensuring the well being of the driver, officers spoke with the driver and an arrest was made for Impaired Driving.
