Vehicle drives off Hwy. 417 and lands on Carling Avenue in Ottawa's west end
A 23-year-old Ottawa man is facing impaired driving charges after his vehicle drove off Highway 417 in Ottawa's west end and landed on Carling Avenue.
Emergency crews responded to a call for a motor vehicle collision just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
Witnesses observed the vehicle "being driven erratically" in the westbound lanes near Carling Avenue, Ontario Provincial Police said Sunday morning.
Police tell CTV News Ottawa witnesses reported the vehicle struck the concrete centre median, crossed all four lanes of traffic and went over the right barrier onto Carling Avenue.
Firefighters were able to remove the patient from the vehicle at approximately 7:30 p.m., and transferred them into the care of paramedics.
Photos from the scene showed the vehicle on its side against a fence next to Carling Avenue. Firefighters used specialized tools to cut the roof off the vehicle to extricate the occupant.
Paramedics tell CTV News Ottawa crews treated the driver for serious injuries, and he was listed in serious but stable condition at the hospital.
The OPP says the driver is facing charges of operation of a motor vehicle while impaired and operation of a motor vehicle while impaired, blood alcohol concentration (80 plus) under the Criminal Code. The driver is also facing a charge under the Highway Traffic Act for novice driver with a blood alcohol content above zero.
