Impaired Driving Charges up in Kenora in 2011

The message about not drinking and driving doesn't seem to be getting through to all motorists.

The Kenora OPP say they have seen an increase in the number of impaired driving charges so far this year.

As of this past weekend, 67 charges have been laid, which is an increase from 58 at the same time last year.

Over the weekend, there were three more impaired driving charges laid, including one against a 32 year old Rat Portage woman

She was arrested following a single vehicle accident early Saturday morning at the intersection of 9th Street North and Houghton Road.
