North Bay OPP have now charged 69 drivers with impaired this year.

That’s 20 more than all of last year.

The latest charge was filed after a van and transport collided on the bypass and Algonquin Avenue around 7 pm last Friday.

No one was injured but the 33 year old van driver from North Bay was arrested.

The person was taken to the North Bay OPP Detachment for testing by a Drug Recognition Expert Officer.

 

Almaguin Highlands OPP say they responded to an injured man on Hwy 11 earlier this month and are looking for any potential witnesses and motorists to contact them.

There’s no word on what happened, but police responded to a report of an injured man on Hwy 11 near the exit to Hwy 518 around 730 am on December 3rd.

They say he was seriously injured and was taken to hospital.

Police are asking for the assistance of anyone who may have witnessed the incident and to call Constable Nagtegaal or the Almaguin Highlands Criminal Investigation Unit at 1-888-310-1122.
