(BlackburnNews.com photo)Huron County OPP held the highest number of ride checks in the region during the month and a half long Festive Ride campaign.
Officers set up 264 different checkpoints between November 21 and January 7.
Five motorists received warn range suspensions, while another eight drivers were charged with over 80 mg, impaired driving and refusal offences.
The OPP say the number of checkpoints and high level of police visibility helped keep local roads safe from alleged drunk or drugged drivers.
The Ontario Provincial Police say it happened just after 8 p.m. on 9th Concession Road near Ferris Road in Essex.
Preparations started last month.
