Two similiar crashes in Quinte West in recent days have both led to impaired driving charges.
The first happened on Monday night around 7:30 p.m., with OPP officers responding to Hollandale Avenue in Trenton, where a car was stuck in a snowbank.
Officers says the driver displayed signs that he had been drinking and was arrested after tests at the roadside and the detachment.
A thirty-six-year-old man from Quinte West is charged with impaired driving, being a novice diver with a blood alcohol content over zero and driving as an unaccompanied G1 driver.
Then, early Wednesday morning, officers were called to another car in a snowbank on Peterson Street, where the driver had left the scene, but was tracked down not far away.
That investigation and testing led to a 26-year-old from Quinte West being charged with impaired driving and careless driving.
Both men were released for future court dates, had their cars impounded for a week and their licences suspended for 90 days.
