A Gatineau man is facing an impaired driving charge after he crashed his vehicle into a tree in L’Ange-Gardien.
MRC des Collines de l’Outaouais said in a news release that police were called to Lamarche Road at around 1:35 p.m. on Friday, April 15.
When they arrived on scene, they found a 32-year-old Gatineau man who appeared drunk.
The driver was assessed by paramedics and was later brought to the police station for a breathalyzer test.
The test revealed he blew twice the legal limit.
As a result, the man’s driver’s licence has been suspended for 90 days and his vehicle, although mangled, has been impounded for a month.
Police also said this is the second impaired driving-related collision in the area in the span of 48 hours.
