Driver crosses centre line and draws officer attention

BRADFORD — On Wednesday September 28, 2016 just after the noon hour, a Traffic officer on patrol aboard a police motorcycle had to take evasive action to avoid being struck by a full size van that crossed the centre line north bound on Sideroad #10 @ the 12th Line of Bradford.

The motor officer turned around after the van and stopped it a short distance away.

The driver was investigated and turned out to be under suspension and did not have a drivers licence. A 21-year-old Toronto man is now charged with failing to share half the roadway and driving under suspension.
