Windsor police say a 47-year-old man is facing impaired driving charges after going the wrong way on the E.C. Row Expressway.
Members of the Windsor Police Traffic Enforcement Unit were preparing to conduct a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program on Wednesday, when officers say they encountered a black pickup truck traveling the wrong way on the Westbound Jefferson Boulevard on-ramp leading to the E.C. Row.
As the pickup truck headed directly towards them, officers say they immediately activated their emergency lights and sirens and successfully brought the vehicle to a stop.
When speaking to the motorist, police say they saw signs of intoxication, including a strong odour of alcohol and glassy eyes.
The LaSalle man was arrested and charged with impaired driving and refusal to provide a breath test.
