York Regional Police have arrested and charged a 33-year-old Toronto woman for driving impaired with a 5-year-old girl in the vehicle.
Around 6:45 p.m. on June 24, an officer on patrol in Vaughan saw a sliver sedan driving erratically.
The vehicle was stopped around Clarence Street and Wycliffe Avenue after driving through two stop signs.
Video of the incident shows the officer ask the woman for her driver’s license.

The driver has been charged with several offences including:

York police say the officer stopped the vehicle before anyone was hurt.
