A 24-year-old Iroquois resident faces impaired charges after a crash which temporarily closed part of Highway 416.
Grenville County OPP say they responded to a collision shortly after 9:00 p.m. Monday on the southbound lanes of the highway, just south of the Rideau River.
Police say a pick-up truck had collided with a parked construction site “crash truck” with North Grenville firefighters and paramedics also called to the scene.
The driver of the pick-up was transported to hospital as a precaution, according to police, and the paramedics also checked on the operator of the crash truck, but no serious injuries were reported.
The pick-up truck driver has been charged with offenses including dangerous operation, operation while impaired by alcohol and driving a vehicle with liquor readily available.
They have a court appearance scheduled for next month in Brockville with their driver’s license suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle impounded for seven days.
