23 Year Old Airlifted To Hospital – Brody MITTON Arrested!

(NORFOLK COUNTY, ON) – An individual is facing charges following an impaired driving investigation on the outskirts of Courtland.

On Friday, October 17, 2025, at approximately 1:01 a.m., members of the Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), along with the Norfolk County Fire Department and Norfolk County Paramedic Services, responded to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 19 near the Norfolk-Oxford County border.

The investigation revealed that a sedan travelling on Highway 19 left the roadway and entered a field. The driver was transported to hospital with minor injuries, while the passenger sustained life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to a trauma centre by air ambulance.

As a result, the driver, 23-year-old Brody MITTON of Oxford County, was taken into custody and charged with the following alleged offences:

• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus),
• Operation causing bodily harm,
• Dangerous operation causing bodily harm.

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Highway 19, between Norfolk County Road 30 and Carson Line, was closed for several hours but has since reopened.

The OPP reminds the public that there is no safe amount of alcohol or drugs when it comes to driving. Impaired driving puts everyone at risk and can lead to devastating – and sometimes fatal – consequences.

If you observe a driver or operator you suspect may be impaired, contact the OPP or the nearest police authority by dialing 9-1-1.
