Police near Barry’s Bay did not have to travel far between a pair of recent incidents on the road.
Officers were called to Siberia Road on August 16th after a single car crash required the driver involved to be sent to an Ottawa area trauma centre with significant injuries.
Their investigation is ongoing, only briefly interrupted that same day by a second crash just down the road that would see the driver screened on-site before being sent to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP detachment for further testing.
The 64-year-old driver in that second crash has since been charged with drunk driving.
