A 50-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with impaired driving after his car ran out of gas on a southern Ontario highway.
Ontario Provincial Police said a Ford Explorer pulled over on Ontario Highway 416 in Edwardsburgh Township, about 80 kilometres south of Ottawa, at around 8:30 p.m. Friday.
A tow truck driver responded to help the driver, but police said the operator quickly realized the driver appeared to be drunk and contacted authorities.
