A motorist is facing impaired driving charges after Orillia OPP say two young children were found in a vehicle pulled over for speeding on Highway 11 northbound in Oro-Medonte.

Police say the vehicle was stopped around 8 p.m. Wednesday.

During the investigation, provincial police say officers determined the two children inside the vehicle were not properly secured in approved child restraint systems.

A 27-year-old Mississauga woman is facing several charges, including two counts of abandoning a child, dangerous operation, impaired operation, and impaired operation with a blood alcohol concentration over 80.

Police said the name of the accused is not being released in order to protect the identity of the children.
