The Orillia Detachment and Central Region Traffic Incident Management Enforcement (TIME) Team of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have removed and charged a dump truck driver with impaired operation-related offences in the Township of Oro-Medonte.
On September 3, 2024, an OPP officer observed a fully loaded dump truck fail to stop at a stop sign on Line 7 North at 15/16 Sideroad East.

As a result of the investigation, David McLean, a 46-year-old from Alliston, has been charged with:
- Operation while Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus)
- Disobey Stop Sign – Fail to Stop
- Driving Motor Vehicle with Liquor Readily Available

The accused is scheduled is appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orillia on October 8, 2024. The accused was issued a 90-day driver’s licence suspension and the company’s dump truck was impounded for 7 days.
