“This vehicle was also the subject of two traffic complaints in the last 48 hours,” OPP said on social media.
Late Friday, police attended a two-car collision on the 401 near Cardinal.
“The driver claimed someone else was driving — investigation by #GrenvilleOPP revealed otherwise,” police noted drily in another social-media post.
That driver was arrested and charged with impaired driving, obstructing a peace officer and dangerous driving.
