A woman from Nipigon is facing charges after allegedly driving while impaired.

The Nipigon detachment of the OPP responded to a call at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday reporting a collision with a tree near Riverview Street.

They say the driver of the crashed car was under the influence of alcohol.

The woman is facing the following charges:

  • Operation While Impaired – Alcohol and Drugs
  • Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus)

Her license has been suspended for 90 days and her vehicle has been impounded for a week.

She will face the Ontario Court of Justice in Nipigon in December.
