A local woman is facing impaired driving charges after her car became stuck in a snowbank.
At 8 p.m. Sunday night, Bracebridge OPP received a call from a resident who was concerned about the condition of a driver whose vehicle had become stuck in a snowbank near Beaver Ridge Road in Gravenhurst.
After an interaction with the driver of the vehicle, police arrested and charged 31-year-old Erin Sider of Gravenhurst, with impaired driving.
She will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on Feb. 25, 2025 to answer to her charges.
In the province of Ontario, when a driver is charged with impaired driving related offences, they have an immediate 90-day driver's licence suspension imposed and their vehicle is impounded.
"Keeping Muskoka roads safe is a goal that is everyone's responsibility and police appreciate when concerned members of the public take the time to share their concerns," notes a media release from the OPP.
"If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol, please call 9-1-1 from your hands-free device."
