Three drivers from Belle River and Kingsville face impaired driving charges after three incidents within a 24-hour period on Friday.

Just after 2 a.m., the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a single-vehicle crash on County Road 46 near Lakeshore Road 217 in Lakeshore.

An 18-year-old man from Belle River is also charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, driving at an unlawful hour as a Class G1 license holder, and driving a vehicle with cannabis readily available.

Just over three hours later, officers were called to another crash, a two-vehicle collision on Renaud Line near Rosewood Drive in Lakeshore.

A 38-year-old Belle River man was charged with impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Then, around 8:30 p.m. on Friday, the OPP got a complaint about a driver on the road on North Talbot Road in Lakeshore.

A 39-year-old Kingsville woman now faces impaired driving and dangerous driving charges.

The OPP said the public can call 911 any time they suspect another driver on the road is impaired. For a non-emergency traffic complaint, the number is 1-888-310-1122, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
