A Peterborough man faces impaired driving charges after police allege he was travelling the wrong way on a downtown street early Sunday.
Peterborough Police Service says around 6:30 a.m., an officer observed a vehicle travelling east on Brock Street which then made a left turn onto George Street North, travelling in the wrong direction. The officer eventually stopped the vehicle.
Police allege a subsequent breath sample revealed the driver had more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system while operating a motor vehicle.
