Provincial police say a driver found slumped over in their running vehicle in a live lane of traffic southeast of Wingham earlier this month was impaired.
Huron OPP found the pickup truck idling on Johnston Line just after 1 a.m. on April 5. The man in the driver's seat was unresponsive.
Officers awoke the driver and determined he had consumed alcohol prior to getting behind the wheel. The driver was arrested and taken to the Clinton detachment where breath samples found him to be over the legal limit.
A 32-year-old man from Huron East is charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol concentration over 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Additional charges under the Liquor Licence Control Act and the Tobacco Tax Act were also laid.
The pickup truck was impounded for seven days and the man's licence suspended for 90 days.
