A 27-year-old woman from Oshawa was arrested and charged with having a blood alcohol content of over 80 milligrams, police said.

“Breath samples submitted by the driver were found to be over the legal limit,” police said. “The driver’s vehicle was impounded for seven days and licence was suspended for 90 days.”

Police also say officers found an open bottle of alcohol in the vehicle.

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.”
