An elderly woman in Guelph, Ont., had to find another way to get around town over the New Year’s holiday.

Guelph Police Service was called about two pedestrians having been struck by a vehicle last Friday night. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on Dec. 30, at the intersection of Paisley Road and Elmira Road South.

Officers arrived to find a man and woman suffering minor injuries after being knocked to the ground.

Investigators say they were able to locate the vehicle and driver in question.

They say an ensuing breath test from the driver resulted in a warn range, which is more than 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, but under the legal limit of 80.
