(Chatham-Kent, ON) On the 10th of October, 2013 at 11:19 p.m. the Chatham-Kent Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program on the Westbound off ramp of the 401Highway at Queens Line.
A 2007 Jeep approached the program and was stopped. Police investigation determined that the driver had been consuming alcohol and a roadside alcohol test was administered which he failed. Further alcohol test at the Chatham-Kent OPP Detachment revealed that he had over double the legal limited of alcohol in his system.
Brandon OSBORNE, a 29 year old Lasalle, Ontario man has been charged with Driving While Ability Impaired and Driving with More than 80 mgs of Alcohol in Blood under the Criminal Code.
Motorists are reminded that Operation Impact Canada’s largest annual road safety campaign is underway. During Operation Impact, the OPP and its policing partners will be collaborating to raise awareness and enforce traffic laws associated with the “Big 4†driving behaviors that continue to take innocent lives on highways and roads: Impaired driving, lack of occupant restraint, distracted driving and all aspects of aggressive driving. Operation Impact runs from Friday, October 11 to Monday, October 14, 2013, over the Thanksgiving weekend.
