On August 22, 2017, shortly after 5:30 p.m., members from the East Algoma Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a vehicle in a ditch on Kensington Road, in Town of Desbarats.

- No Sign-“Right Hand Drive Vehicle”, contrary to section 63 of the Highway Traffic Act; and with
- Fail to Surrender Insurance Card, contrary to section 3(1) of the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
The driver did not sustain any injuries and there was no damage to the vehicle.
