(MUNICIPALITY OF PORT HOPE, ON) -At approximately 10:00 am. on Saturday June 21, 2025, members from the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to reports of a motor vehicle that was being driven in an erratic and dangerous manner on Highway 401 eastbound in the Port Hope area.

Officers learned this traffic complaint originated from the Toronto area. The vehicle was observed hitting the concrete barrier before shooting across all three eastbound lanes before finally coming to a stop on the right hand shoulder of the highway. Officers located a silver Hyundai SUV with minor damages to the drivers side front fender and rim. The driver was not inside or nearby the vehicle and was located at the vehicles registered owners place of residence. Upon speaking with the driver police detected a strong odour of alcohol emanating from their breath and was displaying other signs of impairment. The officer then made an Approved Screening Device (ASD) Demand; however, the driver refused to provide a suitable sample of the breath into the ASD.

  • Failure or refusal to comply with demand
  • Dangerous operation
  • Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on August 27, 2025.
