Pickup truck in ditch: two charged with impaired

Two Grey County men have court dates in Owen Sound next month after the pickup truck they were in veered off the road and crashed in a ditch.

Shortly after 10:00 p.m. Thursday, police responded to a report of a pickup off the road in Grey Highlands.    When officers arrived, two farm tractors were also on the scene.
