A 24-year-old man from California is facing criminal charges and two passengers were sent to hospital with serious injuries following an all-terrain vehicle crash over the weekend in Huron East.
Late Saturday night, OPP officers responded to a campground on Walton Road to investigate an ATV side-by-side roll-over. Two adult passengers suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries when they were thrown from the machine.
While speaking with the driver, the investigating officer noted the driver had been consuming alcohol. The driver failed a roadside screening test, and was arrested and was transported to the Exeter OPP Detachment for further breath tests. Both of the samples he provided were over the legal limit.
