Concerned With Impaired Driving Surge

Chatham-Kent OPP says it's laid two impaired-related charges in the last 30 days.

Constable Janine Belanger says neither of the incidents involved a collision. That's in stark contrast to province-wide numbers.

In the past 30 days, the OPP says it's laid more than 180 alcohol-related criminal driving charges across Ontario. Provincial police say they're concerned about the recent surge and call the growing number of charges "troubling."
