Police said that at about 3:20 a.m. on Nov. 7, officers responded to a report of a single motor vehicle collision on Bruce Road 13, south of Pashwood Drive, in Saugeen First Nation. The vehicle had left the roadway and entered the ditch, according to the release.
Grey Bruce OPP officers attended with local fire services and paramedics, police said. The driver, who was the lone occupant, did not sustain any injuries, the release said.
Andrea Thompson, 54, of London, was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code with:

The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Walkerton on Dec. 17, police said.
In addition to the criminal charges, the accused received a 90-day driver's licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment under provincial legislation, according to the release.
