Driver facing several charges

June 25, 2009 15:06

An Oshawa woman is facing a list of charges in connection with a crash south of Tottenham Tuesday evening. They include impaired driving as well as littering when the accused tried to ditch the evidence.

The crash happened at about 7:30 p.m. on Mount Wolfe Road, which is south of Highway 9. A man was driving north on Mount Wolfe when he came across the accused in a Dodge Durango stopped in the northbound lane and talking to another driver, who was stopped in the southbound lane.

The man went around the two stopped vehicles and continued north. When he stopped at the Highway 9 intersection he was rear ended by the Durango he had spotted earlier, police said.

The man called police, but before they arrived he saw the driver of the Durango throw two empty beer cans into the ditch, he told officers.

There were no injuries.

The 39-year-old female driver of the Durango is charged with impaired driving, failure to provide a breath sample, driving with a G2 licence with alcohol in the blood stream, possession of more than one licence, failure to surrender a vehicle permit, failure to surrender insurance and having open liquor in public.

To top it off, the woman was also charged with littering for throwing the beer cans in the ditch.
