text: (GODERICH & CENTRAL HURON, ON) – A London resident is facing a number of charges, including Impaired Operation following a crash that took place in Goderich last week.
  On February 8, 2021 at approximately 1:13 p.m. Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers started receiving multiple calls about a Jeep Wrangler that was being operated in an erratic manner in the Town of Goderich.
  One witness reported the suspect vehicle had rear-ended her vehicle at the intersection of Blake Street West and Eldon Street in Goderich. Another witness reported the driver collided with a pole located in a parking lot on Bayfield Road.
  Officers immediately began patrolling for the suspect vehicle and a short time later the suspect vehicle was stopped by police on Huron Road in Holmesville. Upon speaking with the driver the investigating officer noted the driver was displaying several signs of impairment through alcohol.
