The Ontario Provincial Police have arrested and charged one individual with impaired operation following a motor vehicle collision.

Early Saturday afternoon members of the OPP  and Rainy River Emergency Medical Service responded to a two-vehicle collision involving two passenger vehicles at the intersection of Barwick Road and Mather Road in the Chapple Township.

• Fail to have an insurance card

The accused has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the court in Rainy River in May.
