A Woodslee man faces impaired driving charges after a crash on Saturday night in Lakeshore.

The Ontario Provincial Police responded to a single-motor vehicle collision on Lakeshore Road 113 around 10:47 p.m.

A vehicle went into a ditch.

The OPP arrested a 41-year-old man and charged him with operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol and failure or refusal to comply with a demand.

In addition to a scheduled appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor on July 8, the OPP suspended the driver's license for 90 days and impounded his vehicle for a week.
