An Ottawa assistant Crown attorney has been charged with impaired driving after a crash on Highway 417 early Saturday morning.
Ontario Provincial Provincial Police charged Matt Humphreys, 35, after his Ford F-150 pickup struck a construction vehicle in the westbound lanes of the 417 at about 2:20 a.m. Saturday.
There were no injuries. The F-150 hit the rear of a Ministry of Transportation “crash truck,” a vehicle used to divert traffic from a closed lane that is equipped with impact-softening crash barriers at the back, said Const. Rheal Levac of the OPP in Ottawa.
Levac would not confirm Humphreys’ occupation, but the Citizen has learned that Friday night was the annual Christmas party for Ottawa’s Crown attorneys’ office.
The Ottawa Crown’s office referred the Citizen to the Ministry of Attorney General for comment. The ministry did not immediately return calls.
Humphreys is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 26.
As a Crown prosecutor, Humphreys has been involved a number of high-profile drinking and driving cases, including the October 2011 death of social activist Alexandra Dodger, who was struck and killed as she crossed St. Patrick Street at 3:30 a.m. by a car travelling the wrong way on the one-way street. Maxime Morin Leblanc, 28, was convicted of criminal negligence causing death, impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample.
Humphreys also prosecuted the case of Sommit Luangpakham, who was convicted of plowing down five cyclists riding on March Road in July 2009.
