Bracebridge OPP officers received several 9-1-1 calls from motorists traveling on Muskoka Road 118 in Bracebridge at approximately 9 a.m. on Saturday.

Callers were concerned bout the erratic driving of a motorist heading toward the town of Bracebridge. 

Before police could catch the suspect, he became involved in a collision with another car at a town intersection.

Police arrived on scene moments later.

Officers say they conducted an investigation into the possible cause of such driving behaviour, including an examination by an OPP Drug Recognition Expert, and subsequently arrested and charged 22 year-old Jeremy Wood of Bracebridge with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle by Drug.

Wood will appear in Ontario Court on May 9.
