Windsor police say a 53-year-old woman is facing charges after a single-vehicle crash late Tuesday night.

Officers responded to the crash at around 11:30 p.m. on the E.C. Row Expressway near the intersection of Central Avenue.

A severely damaged Dodge Charger was found in the ditch on the south side of the westbound lanes. The vehicle broke through a guardrail and went down the embankment near the Central Avenue on-ramp.

The driver sustained minor injuries.

Police detected an alleged odour of alcohol on the driver's breath. She failed a roadside test, along with additional tests at Windsor police headquarters.

She has been charged with driving with excessive blood-alcohol concentration.

The charge has not been proven in court.
