A woman from Midland has been charged with impaired driving after a vehicle ended up stuck in the ditch along Highway 26 in Meaford.

Grey County OPP say on Monday just after 7:30 p.m., officers received a complaint from a concerned citizen about an erratic driver.

Police say the vehicle was travelling westbound on Highway 26, then drove off of the roadway and into the north-side ditch, where it became stuck in the snow.

Officers say a witness stopped to assist the driver who was not injured in the incident.

Police say when officers arrived, they suspected the driver had been drinking alcohol.
