(DUFFERIN COUNTY) - Members of the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a Woodbridge resident with impaired driving-related offences following a single motor vehicle collision.
On May 23, 2026, at approximately 10:09 pm, officers from the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were dispatched to the area of Broadway and Blind Line where a vehicle had gone through the intersection and came to rest on its roof in a wooded area.
Due to the severity of the damage, officers quickly attempted to locate the individual, as they believed the occupant may have suffered significant injuries as a result of the collision. Officers arrived on scene and began assessing the situation.
While conducting their investigation, the occupant of the vehicle who had initially left the scene prior to police arrival returned and gained entry into a fully marked police cruiser, then attempted to drive away.
Dufferin County Paramedics, who were on scene, quickly intervened and placed the vehicle in park, preventing it from being moved further. The officer immediately returned to the cruiser and placed the female under arrest. An impaired driving investigation was subsequently initiated.
As a result of the investigation, Sarah GIANNINI, a 48-year-old female from Woodbridge, has been charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
- Take Motor Vehicle Without Consent
- Careless driving
- Drive motor vehicle - no licence
- Possess unmarked cigarettes
- Red light - fail to stop
The accused individual is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to the charges.
In addition, the individuals’ driver’s licences was suspended, and the vehicle was impounded.
