A Barrie driver is facing charges after a collision near the downtown core on Friday. According to police, officers on patrol in the area of Edgehill Drive came across the scene of the collision. Police say two vehicles were involved, including one that was parked and had no passengers inside. When speaking with the driver of the other vehicle involved, police say the driver “exhibited obvious sign of impairment.” The driver was then taken into police custody and according to police, a breath test later confirmed a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. A 29-year-old Barrie woman is now facing two charges of impaired operation and a third charge for dangerous driving. Her vehicle was impounded for seven days and her licence was suspended for 90 days.
