A 19-year-old Coe Hill man is lucky to be alive after rolling over his pick-up truck last Sunday (August 2).
At around 3 a.m. on Sunday, Bancroft OPP officers responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 620 in the Township of Wollaston in Hastings County.
The driver was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Officers attended the hospital where they placed the driver under arrest.
As a result of an investigation, a 19-year-old Coe Hill man faces four charges: operation while impaired – alcohol; operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration 80 plus; novice driver – B.A.C above zero; and drive motor vehicle, no currently validated permit.
The accused man’s driver’s license was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle (which is a write-off) was impounded for seven days.
He was released on an appearance notice to attend at the Ontario Court of Justice in Bancroft on August 25th.
