A 32-year-old Windsor resident has been charged with impaired operation involving alcohol and drugs, operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit, and dangerous operation causing bodily harm.
The accused was issued a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor on July 30.
