'Disappointing weekend' dealing with impaired drivers, York police say

York Regional Police say it was a "disappointing weekend" dealing with impaired drivers after they arrested 10people over a four-hour period for alcohol and drug-related offences.

Of the 10arrests, three of them were the result ofvehicle collisions, according to police.

Police say five of them were arrested through aRIDE spot checkand general patrol.

The remaining two arrests happened afterconcerned citizens called911 to report possible impaired drivers, police say.

In three of the cases, twoof the drivers arrested blew two and a half times over the legal alcohol limit and one driver was under the influence of drugs.

Theweekendarrests come just a week after York police released a night-vision video of an alleged impaired driver who fell asleep at the wheel and then fled from police before slamming into a light pole in Richmond Hill on Feb. 15.

York police are urging people to participate in the #ImTHATPerson campaign, which encourages citizens to speak out against impaired driving.
