Caledon crash leads to impaired charges for Brampton driver

A Brampton driver faces impaired driving charges after a crash in Caledon.

Emergency crews responded to the two-vehicle collision just before midnight on March 19 on Mayfield Road, near Kennedy Road, in Caledon, OPP said in a press release on March 25.

One driver was transported to hospital with minor injuries.

Police charged one person in connection with the crash.

Fahad Hanif, 31, of Brampton, was charged with operation while impaired – alcohol, and failure or refusal to comply with demand, police said.

Hanif is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on April 4. The driver’s vehicle was impounded for a period of seven days, and their driver’s licence was suspended for a period of 90 days.

Penalties for failure or refusal to provide a breath sample are the same as those imposed upon a driver charged with impaired operation.

These penalties include an immediate 90-day licence suspension, seven-day vehicle impoundment, as well as licence reinstatement fees. Additional penalties are imposed upon conviction and increase for each proceeding offence.
