— A school bus driver is facing impaired driving charges after a crash involving a school bus and a car in Markham, Ont. York regional police say a school bus was carrying at least 20 students from a nearby high school when it crashed into a car at around 4 p.m. Tuesday, and kept bumping into it. Andy Pattenden says police aren’t seeing a reduction in impaired driving despite a number of awareness campaigns, but he says there is an increase in the number of people reporting suspected impaired driving to police. “Impaired driving itself does not seem to be going away, but citizens’ tolerance to it seems to be changing,” Pattenden said. According to York regional police statistics, officers have seen about 549 incidents of impaired driving over the past year.
