The Huntsville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has arrested an individual and laid impaired-related charges while investigating a conflict between two youth in the Town of Huntsville.
On March 31, 2026, at 3:15 p.m., the Huntsville OPP were made aware of a single-vehicle collision on Brunel Road near Muskoka Road 10. Several passing motorists called police, but the driver did not call police to report the collision and left the scene. There was damage to the guardrails as a result of the collision.
Police conducted an investigation and attended the young driver’s residence. Police immediately suspected the young driver to be under the influence of a substance. After conducting standard field sobriety tests and alcohol breath testing, the young driver was arrested.
As a result of the investigation, a 17-year-old male of Huntsville, Ontario, has been charged with:
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Young driver BAC above 0
- Fail to remain (at scene of collision)
The accused was released and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge, Ontario, on May 7, 2026.
The accused received a 90-day license suspension, and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
Of obvious concern is the age of the driver and the time of the offence.
