The accused in the case was charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired — exceeding blood alcohol level. She was released on a promise to appear in court at a future time.
“Police would obviously encourage drivers to only drive when they are able and any time they are impaired to stay away from operating a vehicle, especially when they are in the care of minors,” Maclean said.
Meanwhile, anyone who might have any additional information relating to the incident was asked to call police at 1-888-579-1520 ext.2022 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
