(TAY TOWNSHIP, ON) - Officers from the Southern Georgian Bay detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a driver with impaired‑related offences following a two‑vehicle collision on Highway 12 yesterday afternoon.
On February 23, 2026, at approximately 3:30 pm, officers responded to a report of a collision involving two vehicles on Highway 12, west of Reeves Road in Tay Township.
Investigators spoke with those involved in the collision and determined that no one suffered any injuries; however, it was learned that one of the involved drivers had been operating a vehicle in an erratic manner prior to the collision.
Upon speaking with the driver, officers noted signs of alcohol impairment and demanded a roadside breath sample, which registered a Fail reading. The driver was arrested and transported to detachment.
As a result of this investigation, Harrison Lachance, 29 years of Bracebridge, is charged with:
- Operation While Impaired
- Operation Over 80 milligrams
- Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle
The accused was release on an Undertaking and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Midland on April 2, 2026.
Upon being charged with impaired driving, the driver’s licence of the accused is suspended for 90 days and the vehicle they were operating is impounded for seven days.
