On Feb. 8, just before 7 p.m., officers from Dufferin OPP responded to a single motor vehicle collision on County Road 3 near 11th Line, in the Township of East Garafraxa. Upon arrival police quickly entered an Impaired Operation Investigation, and charges were subsequently laid. 

As a result, Noah GREENWOOD, a 21-year-old from the Town of Orangeville was charged with:

• Driving while under suspension 

• Fail to surrender suspended driver's licence
