Several traffic charges were laid by Northumberland OPP over the weekend.
During the noon hour on Friday, police responded to a traffic complaint regarding a driver who sustained damage to their vehicle as it travelled through a construction area on Payn Road in the Township of Hamilton.
Officers spoke to witnesses who provided a description of the driver and vehicle to assist with the investigation. OPP then spoke to the individual sought in connection with the incident. Upon doing so, police entered into an impaired operation investigation where an Approved Screening Device (ASD) demand was made. As a result, the accused was arrested and transported to a local detachment for further tests.
