A Kingston, Ont., man is facing impaired driving charges after he allegedly caused a power outage that lasted for hours in the city’s west-end.
Police say a Nissan Pathfinder struck a hydro pole in the area of Nottinghill Avenue and Woodbine Road on April 1, just after 5 p.m.
“The pole came down, causing sparking live wires and a power outage to some west-end residents,” Kingston police said.
He was charged with impaired driving and having more than 80 milligrams blood-alcohol level.
His driver’s licence was automatically suspended for 90 days and he could see a minimum one year’s suspension if convicted.
