A 31-year-old Penetanguishene man is facing impaired driving charges after a crash that shut down a section of Highway 12 in the Midland area overnight.

Ontario Provincial Police say an eastbound minivan struck a parked OPP cruiser near Old Fort Road.

The highway has reopened after being shut down between Wye Valley Road and the Old Fort off ramp for about six hours.
