On November 26, 2025, at approximately 10:10 p.m., officers responded to a report of a suspected impaired driver near Bridge Street West and Grand Road in the Municipality of Trent Hills.

Police located and stopped a vehicle matching the description provided and after speaking with the driver, officers initiated an impaired driving investigation. The individual was arrested and transported to a local detachment for further testing.

Lindsay Austrung-Wilson from Campbellford, has been charged with:

The accused is due to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg in January 2026 and a further 90-day Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension (ADLS) and 7-day vehicle impoundment were imposed as per statute.

If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. In doing so, you may save a life. Whether you are impaired by alcohol or drugs, impaired is impaired and driving under the influence of either is a criminal offence. 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.
