OPP charge two county drivers for impaired, stunt driving

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were out on Friday, citing two drivers who allegedly violated two of the so-called "big four" infractions.

The incidents occurred within about three hours.

The first was a few minutes before 4 p.m. in Lakeshore.

Officers spotted a vehicle being driven at excessive speed and conducted a traffic stop on Rourke Line.

The 29-year-old driver from Belle River was charged with stunt driving.

The second incident took place just after 7 p.m. on Point Pelee Drive in Leamington.

OPP officers responded to a complaint from wardens at Point Pelee National Park about a suspected impaired driver.

A 35-year-old LaSalle man is charged with impaired driving and driving with excessive blood-alcohol concentration.

Both drivers now have their licences suspended for 90 days, and their vehicles impounded for seven days.

The charges have not been proven in court.
