Officers were led to an impaired driving investigation, and the driver of one of the vehicles registered over four times the legal limit.

As a result, Emily Ann NEAT, 29-year-old of Terrace Bay, has been arrested and charged with:

· Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs

· Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

· Dangerous operation

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood on November 26, 2024.

Drivers continue to take chances. It’s simply not worth the risk. Motorists are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
