Police have laid impaired driving charges against a London man after a motorist struck a stop sign and a utility pole northeast of Sarnia over the weekend.
OPP say it happened on Townsend Line in Lambton Shores at around 4 p.m. on Sunday.
According to investigators, the driver of a Volkswagen Passat struck a stop sign and then collided with a hydro pole.
No injuries were reported, but the hydro pole sustained minor damage and the stop sign was destroyed.
Police arrested a suspect, who was taken to the Lambton OPP Petrolia detachment for breath testing, which resulted in readings almost three times the legal limit.
A London man, 71, has been charged with impaired driving and driving with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
He’s scheduled to appear in a Sarnia court on September 11.
