NORTHUMBERLAND-The Northumberland OPP has charged a driver with impaired operation following traffic enforcement.

On March 20, 2025, at around 3:15 a.m., police were on County Road 2 in the Township of Alnwick/Haldimand when they observed a passenger vehicle travelling at 122 Km/h in a posted 70 Km/h limit according to police.

Officers say the driver fled from police and the vehicle and was soon located at a nearby residence. An Approved Screening Device (ASD) demand was made for a sample of breath and with the result of ‘FAIL’, the individual was taken into custody and transported to a local detachment for further tests according to police.
