Suspected drunk driver crashes on the 401

A single-vehicle crash near Tilbury has landed a Windsor man in trouble with the law.

A 72-year-old man from Windsor has been charged with impaired driving and having a blood alcohol concentration of more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
