Niagara Regional Police say they have charged one of their officers with impaired driving after he allegedly fled an attempted traffic stop and collided with another vehicle. Police report the incident involves a grey Dodge Ram pickup and took place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, with officers responding to reports of an impaired driver around 8:20 p.m. on Thursday.
According to police, after responding to the call, officers tried to stop the vehicle. Police allege the officer then failed to remain stopped and his vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The officer is charged in relation to the impaired-driving allegation and the events leading up to the collision.
Both outlets describe the same overall sequence—an impaired-driving report, an attempted traffic stop, alleged flight, and a resulting crash—while focusing on different ways the allegations are framed and reported. Details such as case procedures, specific charges beyond impaired driving, and any additional circumstances are not consistently expanded in the brief accounts provided.
