One of the crashes involved a pickup truck that knocked over a sign on the front lawn of a Vancouver Drive home around 2:30 p.m. An officer spoke with the driver, who was sent on his way without any charges.

Then just before 8 p.m., there was another crash on Meyer Drive that involved the same driver. The vehicle lost control and struck a utility pole.

This time, a 51-year-old was charged with careless driving.

The Guelph Police Service is reminding motorists, now that there is snow on the ground, to drive according to road and weather conditions.
