On July 19 at around 5:30 p.m., members from the Sudbury OPP responded to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 69, near Highway 607 in French River.
Investigation revealed that a northbound vehicle left the roadway and entered the ditch on the east side of the roadway. It was also determined that the uninjured woman had consumed alcohol.

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sudbury on Sept. 6 to answer to her charges. Her driver's license was suspended for 90 days and the vehicle she was driving was impounded for seven days.
"The OPP is reminding motorists that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption when driving," said an OPP news release.
