The accused is due to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg in April.

If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. Your call could prevent serious consequences. Impaired driving, whether by alcohol or drugs, is a criminal offence, and speeding is another dangerous behavior that can lead to those same serious consequences. If you plan to drink or consume drugs, plan ahead: arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or choose another safe option. Slow down, stay sober, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
