A Guelph woman faces impaired and dangerous driving charges following two collisions Tuesday evening outside busy downtown businesses.
Approximately 6:15 p.m. emergency services were called for a report of a single-vehicle collision in a parking lot near Gordon Street and Wellington Street and found the driver suffering from a facial injury.
Investigation revealed she had collided with a vehicle in the parking lot of a plaza across the street, then sped across five lanes of traffic and a raised median before colliding with a concrete barrier outside a busy restaurant. Fortunately no other injuries were reported.
Officers found an open bottle of vodka inside the car and observed signs of impairment. The same woman also faces outstanding impaired driving charges from earlier this year.
A 41-year-old Guelph woman is further charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving, failing to stop at a collision, driving while suspended and driving without insurance. Her driver’s licence was further suspended for 90 days and her vehicle was seized for seven days.
