Ontario Provincial Police say the weekend got off to a “dangerous start” after two people were charged with impaired driving Friday night.
At around 6 p.m., officers were following up on an investigation on Lorne Street in Gravenhurst when a vehicle pulled into the driveway.
When police spoke with the driver they suspected he was impaired.
Jason Bradford, 51, of Gravenhurst was charged with operation while impaired and over 80.
Then at around 10 p.m., OPP were called to a vehicle in a ditch along Muskoka Road 169 near Burgess Street in Bala.
“A member of the public had stopped to assist and called police when they became concerned about the driver's condition,” said police in a news release.
Cole Walker, 30, of Bala was charged with operation while impaired, over 80, and failing to comply with probation.
Both drivers will appear in court next month to answer to the charges.
