On Thursday February 14, 2019 just before 12:30 p.m., members of the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a traffic complaint involving a black sedan that was reportedly unable to drive in a marked lane, almost causing a collision, then drove into a snowbank on Dale Road in the Municipality of Port Hope.
Responding officers found the female driver to be under the influence of alcohol.
As a result of the investigation Christina Leigh Nightingale (age 30) from Prescott, Ontario was arrested and charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with:
- Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on March 13, 2019.
The OPP says the driver blew almost four times the legal limit
