Hamilton Police are reminding drivers, ‘Impaired is Impaired.’ Two drivers, both from Hamilton were arrested for impaired driving this morning after police were called to the scene of a motor vehicle collision.

On Monday, November 1, 2021 Hamilton police were called to the area of St. Joseph’s Drive and John Street South for a two vehicle collision.

Upon arrival, shortly after 1:00 a.m. police determined the drivers of both vehicles were operating a motor vehicle while impaired. They were subsequently arrested, vehicles were impounded and drivers released with a future court date.
