The Ontario Provincial Police say a man has been charged with impaired driving and officers found several empty beer cans inside of the vehicle.

Police said Mississauga OPP officers stopped a white Nissan van travelling southbound on Highway 410 toward the eastbound Highway 401 at around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Officers said the driver had alcoholic beverage cans, labelled as Crest Super — a premium lager, throughout the interior.

In addition, the driver also failed the roadside test.

He was charged with impaired driving for having a blood alcohol content of more than 80 milligrams. The driver had his licence suspended for 90 days and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
