The Ontario Provincial Police have arrested another driver in Essex County after a crash they believe was caused by impaired driving.

This time, officers responded to a single-vehicle crash on County Road 27 near Hwy. 401 in Lakeshore.

A 27-year-old Tecumseh man is now charged with operation of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit.

He'll appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor on September 9.

In the meantime, his driver's licence was suspended for three months while his vehicle sits in impound for a week.
