Then around 3 a.m. Sunday, police saw a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Colborne Street, where it failed to stop at an intersection.
The vehicle was stopped and a 26-year-old man was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle.
Both drivers lost their vehicles and licenses for the next week.
Meanwhile, on Sunday afternoon, an 80-year-old woman was given a three-day licence suspension, after police watched someone trying to park at a business on Lynden Road, where two other vehicles were struck in the parking lot.
