    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (COLLINGWOOD, ON) – Members of the Collingwood and Blue Mountains Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested and charged a driver with Impaired Operation (Over 80) after a traffic investigation early Saturday morning.

    Just after 2:00am March 22, 2025 an officer with the Collingwood and Blue Mountains OPP observed a white sedan driving eastbound on Mountain Road in the Town of Collingwood. The vehicle was stopped on Tenth Line near Mountain Road and the officer conducted a roadside impaired driving investigation. As a result, the driver was arrested and transported to the Collingwood OPP Detachment for breathalyzer tests to be obtained.

    Ryan GRIFFIN, 24 years of age, of Collingwood was released on an undertaking, charged with Impaired Operation (80 Plus). He was served with a 90 day Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension and his vehicle was impounded for 7 days. The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood at a future date.   

    Police remind the public that impaired drivers put our community at risk and our officers continue to actively look for drivers who drive while impaired, including conducting RIDE spot checks all year round. Collingwood and Blue Mountains OPP conducted an additional 6 RIDE spot checks over this past weekend. If you plan on consuming drugs or alcohol, plan to have a designated driver, call a friend, a taxi or rideshare to arrange transportation to get you home safely. If you suspect someone of driving while impaired, call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or dial 911 to report it.
