31-year-old charged with impaired driving-related offences after single vehicle collision

At 7:05 a.m. on May 2, 2024, the Greater Sudbury Police Service received multiple traffic complaints regarding a pick-up truck being driven erratically while travelling Eastbound on MR 35 towards Sudbury.

As the traffic complaints were being received by our 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Centre, the vehicle was involved in a single vehicle collision where the driver sustained life-threatening injuries.

• Dangerous Operation
