BARRIE, Ont. — A central Ontario man is going to have a tough time explaining this one to the car rental agency.

Police say the 36-year-old Barrie, Ont., man was involved in a minor collision on Saturday.

The driver was charged with possession of a narcotic and impaired driving and police say the rental vehicle he was driving was confiscated and will be held for 45 days.

The 31-year-old woman is facing a charge of obstructing police.
