Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a driving complaint in Gravenhurst after a person drove into a road sign and fled.
On July 23, 2024, at 7:10 p.m. Bracebridge OPP officers received reports from members of the public about a possibly impaired driver in the area of Muskoka Beach Road in Gravenhurst. Witnesses described that a light blue or grey BMW SUV with damage to the right front end and a flat rear tire collide with a street sign near Brydon’s Bay Road, damaging the sign. A concerned citizen attempted to check on the well-being of the female driver and she drove away, with the flat tire, travelling south on Muskoka Beach Road.
It is the driver’s obligation, when involved in a collision, to remain at the scene of the collision and report it to police right away. The consequences for Failing to Remain, upon conviction, may include a fine of up to $2000, 7 demerit points and a driver’s licence suspension. If the investigation reveals alcohol or drugs as a contributing factor, criminal charges may be considered as well.
