A Cambridge woman is charged with impaired and dangerous driving after a traffic stop in Guelph Monday morning.
Approximately 7:30 am police were informed of a vehicle being driven erratically into Guelph on Highway 6 North. The caller advised they had been following the vehicle since Fergus and had seen it travelling through red lights and it was involved in a minor collision outside of Guelph.

She was arrested and transported to the police station, where an officer trained in drug recognition concluded her ability to drive was impaired by drugs.
A search of the vehicle revealed several prescription medications including sedatives.
