Impaired driver arrested after crash
A 35-year-old Chatham woman is facing impaired driving charges after she allegedly hit a parked vehicle in Chatham Thursday night.
Chatham-Kent police said when they arrived at the scene on Delaware Avenue near Gladstone Avenue, they believed the woman was driving under the influence of alcohol, so she was arrested and taken back to police headquarters for breath tests.
Police said the woman was later charged with having a blood alcohol content over the legal limit, failing to surrender her license and permit, and driving with liquor readily available.
She was later released pending a future court date.
