A 25-year-old Quinte West woman faces impaired driving charges after crashing her car into a cemetery just west of Brighton on Saturday morning (May 2).
Just before 7 a.m., Northumberland OPP responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision on County Road 2 near Branscombe Road.
Officers arrived on scene and found a severely damaged grey Chevrolet four-door sedan on the north side of County Road 2, within the perimeter of a cemetery at that location.
The driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was found to be under the influence of alcohol and was transported to a local area hospital to be treated for injuries sustained as a result of the collision.
Taylor Elizabeth Haryett was arrested and charged with operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs, operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus), and driving while under suspension.
She was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on June 24, 2020.
