Impaired driving charges after rollover crash

Impaired driving charges have been laid after a rollover crash on the 401.

Chatham-Kent OPP officials say on January 18 at around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to a motor vehicle collision on Highway 401 near Queens Line.

Police allege that an eastbound motor vehicle had rolled several times before coming to rest in the centre median.

The driver was treated, at the scene, for minor injuries.

While speaking with the driver, the officer determined the driver had consumed alcohol.

The driver was transported to the detachment for further tests.

As a result, the male driver, a 23-year-old from Blenheim, has been charged with driving while ability impaired and drive motor vehicle with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in blood, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.

The accused is required to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on February 2, 2018 to answer to the charges.
