Orillia woman’s car gets towed to impound lot after getting stuck in Hwy. 400 ditch

An Orillia woman did get help after getting stuck in a snowy ditch on Hwy. 400 in Severn Township Dec. 3.

Unfortunately, the tow truck ended up taking her vehicle to the impound lot after she was arrested for impaired operation of a vehicle.

At 10:45 p.m., a Southern Georgian Bay OPP officer stopped after noticing other motorists had pulled over to try to help the woman stuck in the snowdrift.

She was still behind the wheel when the officer spoke with her and allegedly smelled alcohol.

The 33-year-old driver was arrested and taken back to a police station for further breath samples.

She was also charged with having open alcohol in a vehicle under the Liquor License Act.

Her licence was suspended for 90 days and vehicle was towed and impounded for a week.

She has a Dec. 17 court date in Midland.
