OPP say this happened on Highway 17, when a car was seen weaving all over the road

A St. Catharines woman has been charged with drug impairment after police say a car was weaving all over the road between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie.

Police were called late yesterday morning, concerning a Highway 17 westbound small blue car crossing the centre line, nearly colliding with other vehicles.

They stopped it near Highway 108, noticing the woman driving was incoherent and not making any sense.

Road side tests were done, and police found drug residue and paraphernalia.

They say 34-year old Brittaney Ann Jackson appears in court in Elliot Lake in September.
