Kitchener woman charged for leaving vehicle parked on LRT tracks while impaired

A Kitchener woman is facing impaired driving-related charges after leaving her car parked on the LRT tracks on Friday night, blocking the way of the trains.

Waterloo Regional Police found the unoccupied vehicle parked on the tracks near King St. and William St. at about 9 p.m.

An LRT train was unable to move forward because of the parked vehicle.

Sometime later, the 44-year-old woman returned, moved her vehicle, and told police she didn’t realize she had parked on the tracks.

After talking to the woman, officers discovered she was impaired.

She refused to take a breathalyzer and was charged for doing so.
