A Guelph man is charged with impaired driving by a drug following a collision Wednesday morning.
Approximately 11:25 a.m. several witnesses called to report a parked vehicle being struck on Westwood Road. A Guelph Police Service officer on patrol came across the collision scene moments later and saw a man exit the suspect vehicle to observe the damage before getting back in and parking his car.
The officer spoke to the man, who was showing signs of impairment and appeared confused. He was arrested and transported to the police station, where an officer trained in drug recognition determined his ability to operate a vehicle was impaired.
Investigation revealed the man is prohibited from driving due to an earlier impaired driving conviction.
A 64-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving and driving while prohibited. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for 45 days. He will appear in court May 24.
