A Peterborough man has been charged with impaired driving following a motorcycle crash on Tuesday night.
Around 9:10 p.m., police were dispatched to Cumberland Avenue for a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. Police say the vehicle left the roadway and struck a curb, which caused the driver to fall onto the lawn of a residence.
Officers located the driver, and police say a subsequent breath test revealed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system while operating a motor vehicle.
Charles Jardin, 63, of Cumberland Avenue, was arrested and charged with operation while impaired with a blood-alcohol concentration of 80-plus.
The accused received an automatic 90-day driver’s licence suspension, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
He was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on July 17.
