Steven Stewart has been charged with two counts of operation while impaired and with dangerous operation causing bodily harm, police say.

The male driver was also transported to a local hospital for precautionary reasons, officers said.
During the investigation, police say it was discovered that the male driver was impaired by alcohol.
His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for seven days, OPP say.
