OPP say wrong-way driver involved in collision on Garden City Skyway

A 45-year-old woman from Wellandport, Ont., is facing charges, after a three-vehicle crash on the QEW involving a wrong-way driver.

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says nobody was injured in the collision which happened early Thursday evening on the Garden City Skyway in St. Catharines.

Schmidt says the wrong-way driver was heading Fort-Erie-bound in the Toronto-bound lanes prior to the crash, which happened at about 6:40 p.m.

“The vehicle was travelling relatively slowly,” adds Schmidt, “but obviously heading straight into traffic.”

He says the 45-year-old Wellandport woman has been charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving and having open alcohol in the vehicle.
