A 52 year old Thunder Bay man has an appearance in court in his future to face impaired driving charges.

The charges were the result of a multi-vehicle collision just before 1:45 p.m. Monday in the Harbour Expressway and Highway 11/17 area.

The police investigation revealed that the driver of a white pick-up truck had entered the left-turn lane on the Expressway and collided with a row of vehicles that were stopped at the red light.

The driver was found to have a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 238 mgs of alcohol in 100 ml of blood.

The charges include:

Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Operation of a Motor Vehicle While Impaired
Operation of a Motor Vehicle While Impaired Blood Alcohol Concentration
