Brockville police say a 46-year-old woman is facing charges following a crash last week.

At around 11:45 p.m. Friday, a 9-1-1 call to police said a driver had struck a curb in front of Brockville City Hall on King Street West. One of the wheels of her vehicle fell off, but she kept going and hit a pole before coming to a stop at the intersection of King Street West and Court House Avenue.

The driver then fell asleep.

Police said bystanders were able to wake her up and move the vehicle to the side of the road before taking her keys.

The woman was arrested and charged with impaired driving and over 80. Her vehicle was impounded and her driver's licence was seized.

Police say she was not injured.
