A suspected drunk driver has been caught on a citizen’s dash-cam and the OPP is sharing the video to the public.
Ontario Provincial Police say the video shows a suspected impaired driver on Highway 400 coming into Barrie last Thursday and you can hear the citizen’s conversation with the 911 operator.
The video shows a white car swerving from lane to lane, almost hitting the guardrail and other vehicles, while the driver is seen also throwing what appear to be beer cans out the window.
An officer stops the car near Forbes Road and arrests the driver, a 45 year old man from Niagara Falls on charges of impaired and dangerous driving.
Impaired drivers are a threat to public safety. Community members and police need to work together to keep our roadways safe.Remember… If you see a suspected impaired driver, call 911.
