A Scarborough male faces impaired and dangerous driving charges following a collision in Guelph Monday.
Police report that at approximately 11:40 a.m. the male was allegedly speeding southbound on Victoria Road South when he ran a red light at Elizabeth Street and collided with a second motor vehicle, destroying both vehicles. Minor injuries were reported.
Prior to the collision, police had received several reports of the vehicle driving dangerously in the area, passing other vehicles in oncoming traffic and running red lights.
At the scene, officers observed the male to be very excitable, unable to answer simple questions, speaking rapidly and laughing. Based on those observations they believed the male to be impaired by a drug. The male agreed to provide a blood sample for analysis, but later refused.
A 24-year-old Scarborough male is charged with impaired operation, dangerous driving, failing to comply with a demand and several Highway Traffic Act offences. He will appear in a Guelph court August 20.
