Police say Sudbury suspect on probation crashed stolen vehicle while impaired
A 26-year-old from Greater Sudbury has been charged with several offences after Ontario Provincial Police investigated a collision Wednesday morning.
Police responded around 11:40 a.m. to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 17 in Markstay-Warren.
While there were no injuries, investigating officers quickly realized the Sudbury driver not only gave them a false name, they appeared to be impaired.
"That driver was arrested and then transported back to the OPP detachment for further testing," the OPP said in a news release Thursday.
