    Onlookers in Collingwood charged with Distracted Driving #GOOD

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (COLLINGWOOD, ON) – At approximately 10:00 am on December 31, 2024, officers of the Collingwood Ontario Provincial Police were dispatched to a single vehicle roll over. The collision occurred in the West end of town on Highway 26 near Dockside Drive. Members of Collingwood Fire and Paramedic Services also responded. Traffic on Highway 26 was restricted briefly as first responders protected the area. Fortunately, no one involved in the collision was injured.

    During the investigation, the on-duty OPP Sergeant noticed several passing motorists using their cellphones as they passed the collision site. As a result, 2 separate drivers were charged with:

    • Drive – hand-held communication device (Highway Traffic Act)

    Additionally, the driver involved in the collision was charged with:

    • Careless Driving (Highway Traffic Act)

    Using a hand-held device while driving carries a set fine of $500. For a first conviction, a driver’s licence is suspended for a minimum of 3-days. The Collingwood OPP is committed to safe communities. When encountering collisions, drivers are reminded to slow down, move over and focus on safe driving. 

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
