Charges laid after single-vehicle crash in Tecumseh

A Tecumseh driver faces charges after a single-vehicle crash in Tecumseh Monday night.

Around 10:35 p.m., the Ontario Provincial Police responded to Tecumseh Road and Bedell Street, where a vehicle struck the guardrail near a train crossing.

Paramedics took the driver to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash delayed rail traffic while emergency crews removed the disabled vehicle. The rail line reopened just before 3 a.m.

The 57-year-old was charged with operation while impaired by alcohol or drugs and operation of a motor vehicle while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 plus.
