    Collingwood – Vehicle on Front Yard leads to Impaired Driving Charges

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (COLLINGWOOD, ON) – On December 22, 2024, at 11:00 pm, members of Collingwood Ontario Provincial Police responded to a report of a vehicle on the front yard of residence in Collingwood.  Officers attended Kirby Avenue and found the vehicle in a snowbank between the roadway and sidewalk. The vehicle was facing the opposite direction to the lane of travel. Officers then located a male asleep behind the wheel. Further investigation led police to arrest the male for impaired driving and impound the motor vehicle. Several charges were laid by OPP including the refusal to comply with a breath demand contrary to section 320.15(1) of the Criminal Code.

    Additionally, 21-year-old Abhishek KUMAR of Scarborough has been charged with:

    ·        Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs (Criminal Code)

    ·        Unsafe move – lane/shoulder (Highway Traffic)

    ·        Fail to surrender licence (Highway Traffic)

    ·        Fail to surrender permit (Highway Traffic)

    ·         

    The accused is set to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood on January 28th, 2025.

    Members of the Collingwood & Blue Mountains OPP remain committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education. If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. In doing so, you may save a life.
