A 21-year-old man has been charged with impaired driving after striking two trees and the porch of a house in Bradford on Saturday night, police say.

At 10:15 p.m., the man lost control of his vehicle on Downey Emerald Drive and hit both trees and a house’s porch, police say.

The driver left the scene and returned when officers arrived, police say.

The male suspect smelled of alcohol and was given a roadside test, officers add, which he failed.

The 21-year-old was then transported to the police station, officers say, and further testing showed he was above the legal alcohol limit.
