On the 9th of December 2022 just after 11:15 p.m., Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers were conducting a RIDE Program on Medora St at Ferndale Rd in the Township of Muskoka Lakes when a vehicle approached and stopped to speak with officers as directed.
The officer requested the driver to pull to the side while he conducted further investigation into his ability to drive and the driver fled the area causing officers to take action to avoid the vehicle.
