LONDON, ONT. London police say they have responded on an alarming number of drug-impaired driving incidents last month and it hasn t stopped. Officials say they laid 33 drug-impaired driving charges in November, more than they have laid over the course of a full year. This dangerous trend is quite concerning, said Sergeant Sean Harding, Traffic Management Unit, London Police Services. While we continue to receive tips from the public in relation to impaired drivers, we are finding more and more of them on the road. Police released the surprising numbers after responding to another incident early Monday morning. At approximately 2 a.m. police received a call about a vehicle which was running but sat unmoving for about two hours, blocking the exit of a business at 1325 Trafalgar St.

John Powell of London, Ontario is hoping video footage of a rare red convertible striking his family vehicle and injuring his daughters and wife before taking off will help lead to the driver’s identification.
This hit-and-run took place at the intersection of Oxford Street and Wonderland Road West in the Ontario city several months ago, on Sunday, August 9 around 1:30 PM, and was filmed by a security camera.
According to an insurance adjuster consulted by Powell, the offending vehicle – which lost control during a left turn, skipped the median, and clipped the driver’s side rear of the Powells’ Toyota Camry and the front end of the vehicle behind it – was a red 1968 Buick Skylark convertible.
