(EAST FERRIS) - A driver has been charged with careless driving and issued a warn‑range driver’s licence suspension after a single‑vehicle collision on Highway 11.

On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at approximately 10:00 pm, members of the North Bay Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to multiple reports of a vehicle that struck a guardrail and travelled down an embankment on Highway 11 in East Ferris. Officers located the vehicle and driver. An investigation determined the driver had been consuming alcohol. A roadside breath demand was made for an Approved Screening Device (ASD), and the driver registered an “Alert.”

As a result, the 29‑year‑old driver from Bracebridge was issued an immediate seven-day warn‑range driver’s licence suspension and charged with Careless driving. No serious injuries were reported.
