TORONTO – Rob Ford’s black Cadillac Escalade was impounded in Bracebridge this week but the mayor was not behind the wheel.
Instead, it was a 36-year-old Muskoka woman who is facing impaired driving charges after she was arrested Tuesday afternoon.
Police say she was the only person driving the vehicle.
It’s unclear how she managed to obtain Ford’s SUV, which reportedly did not have licence plates on.
The mayor was spotted in the Bracebridge area last week and is currently in a rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse.
