A 28-year-old man has been charged with impaired driving after the snowplow truck he was operating ended up in a ditch in Georgina, Ont., on Saturday evening, York Regional Police say.
Officers say they were called to Baseline Road, west of Civic Centre Road, to investigate a single-vehicle crash.
When officers arrived, police say they found a snowplow had left the road and rolled onto its side.
During the crash, the truck hit a hydro pole, according to officers.
Officers say they smelled alcohol when they spoke to the driver, who was subsequently arrested and transported to the police station for a breath test, which he allegedly failed.
The 28-year-old man, from Scugog, Ont., was charged with impaired operation of a vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration of 80-plus, impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
