By cceolin

Wellington County OPP say a 23-year-old woman is fighting for her life in hospital, after getting into a car with an accused drunk driver.

Police say she was the passenger in a sedan that lost control and crashed very early Saturday morning near Belwood.

Fire and EMS responded to the single-vehicle collision on Sideroad 9 around 4:30 a.m.

OPP say the Elora woman was air lifted to a trauma centre, and is currently in grave condition.

The driver, a 30-year-old Arthur man, is now facing a charge of impaired driving causing bodily harm or death.

He’ll make a court appearance in Guelph in January.
