A 31-year-old Barrie man is facing impaired and dangerous driving charges after a single-vehicle collision in Bradford Saturday morning, South Simcoe police say.
Officers attended the scene in the area of 5th Line and Canal Road, police say, in response to a report of a vehicle driving erratically and at a high rate of speed.
Once on the scene, police say, officers learned the driver had lost control and went into a ditch.
