2 More Impaired Drivers – KIROLLOS & DOYLE

(MIDLAND, ON)- Two separate impaired driving investigations over the weekend by OPP, one by alcohol, one by drugs point to the fact that driving while impaired by drug or alcohol or both is impaired driving.

An officer from the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) while on patrol at approximately 10:46 p.m. August 9, 2025, came across a vehicle parked in a retail parking lot of Heritage Drive, Midland with a lone occupant who upon checking had a quantity of cannabis readily available. A further investigation led the officer to enter into an impaired by drug investigation and transported the driver to detachment for further investigation with the assistance of an OPP officer trained as a drug recognition expert (DRE).
