Two men on tractors pulling pickup from ditch charged with impaired driving

GREY HIGHLANDS — Things went downhill fast for two men who arrived at the scene of a crashed pick-up truck in two separate tractors. They were trying to pull the truck out of a ditch when police arrived and charged both men on the tractors with impaired driving.

Grey-Bruce police also reported that one of the two men crashed the truck.
Police first got the call at 10:30 p.m. on June 27. A passerby in the Grey Highlands area had called in to say that an orange pickup truck was in a ditch with nobody in it.

Grey Highlands residents, 21-year-old Richard Beaulieu and 57-year-old Allen Scammell, were charged with operating a tractor while intoxicated. Beaulieu was also charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident. Both men were to appear in court in August.
