Provincial police laid charges against a 23-year-old from the east end after a single-vehicle crash on Highway 417.<\/p>\n

Officials were near Terry Fox Drive when they got a call about an inciden<\/a>t. They were told that around noon on July 23, a vehicle collided on the highway.<\/p>\n

When they arrived on scene, the G2 driver was already suspended, and she registered three times the legal limit of blood alcohol, officials said. <\/p>\n

As a result police laid a slew of charges including:<\/p>\n

Operation while impaired \u2013 blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)<\/p>\n

Dangerous operation<\/p>\n

Driving while under suspension- times two<\/p>\n

Novice driver B.A.C above zero<\/p>\n

Driving a motor vehicle with open container of liquor<\/p>\n

The woman from Orleans was issued a 90-day licence suspension, a seven-day vehicle impound, and she\u2019s set to appear in court in September. <\/p>\n

Impaired driving in Ottawa<\/p>\n

Police across the nation\u2019s capital have been warning that impaired driving is a growing concern.<\/p>\n

As of early June, Ottawa police said officers have laid 391 impaired-driving-related charges year-to-date<\/a>, compared to 327 during the same period in 2025. This is an increase of 19.5 per cent. <\/p>\n

To combat the problem, officials launched a campaign to put up signs that read \u201cimpaired driver caught here\u201d<\/a> to deter people. Ottawa police say that since the launch of the campaign, impaired driving has lowered three percentage points, which they say is a \u201cmodest improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n
