Kingston pair charged after car narrowly avoids head-on collision

Lennox and Addington OPP have charged two people after a near head-on collision Thursday.

Police say at approximately 6:30 p.m. they responded to reports of a car driving erratically and having nearly caused several head-on collisions eastbound on County Road 2 from Loyalist Township to Kingston.

Police say the vehicle failed to make a stop at County Road 2 and County Road 6 and that they observed another car drive into a ditch to avoid a collision.

When police pulled over the vehicle, OPP say the driver was showing obvious signs of impairment. Police seized Percocet pills, cash, cellphones, a prohibited device and identity documents.
