(NEW TECUMSETH, ON)- Members of the Nottawasaga Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged one individual with impaired driving following a fail to remain motor vehicle collision in Tottenham.

On September 12, 2025, shortly after 4:00 pm, members of the Nottawasaga OPP responded to a fail to remain motor vehicle collision in the area of Mill Street East, Tottenham, where the driver had struck the rear of another vehicle, then fled on foot. Officers were able to quickly make contact with the driver who returned to the scene. During the interaction, grounds were formed that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol, leading to the driver’s arrest.  

As a result of the investigation, Meghan EDWARDS 50-years-old of Tottenham was charged with:

• Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
• Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Fail to remain

The accused is scheduled to attend the Ontario Court of Justice in Bradford on October 9, 2025, to answer to the charges.
