Driver charged following weekend head-on collision in Windsor

A call to Windsor police about a fight led to a head-on crash over the weekend, and one man was arrested for alleged impaired driving.

Shortly after midnight on Sunday, officers were called to the area of Tuscarora Street East and Louis on a report of two people fighting in an alley. While heading to the scene, police learned that one of the people involved had left in a black SUV.

Police arrived in time to see the suspect vehicle speed northbound on Louis Avenue toward Wyandotte Street East. The vehicle was driven through a stop sign before making a wide right turn westbound onto Wyandotte, where it hit a vehicle head-on.

The driver of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries.

Police stopped the black SUV and noticed that the driver showed signs of impairment.

The 22-year-old driver was arrested and charged with impaired driving and dangerous operation.

The charges have not been proven in court.
