A photo released by York Regional Police on X regarding the incident shows a flask that says “a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.”

Police then responded with, “So do the officers in blue when you drive impaired and crash head-on into a snow plow.”

The post by police then alleges that vodka and the flask were seized from the vehicle.
