Moosa Imran
Moosa Imran is a digital news lead at CTV News’ Barrie team who focuses on how drivers, police, and the automotive sector intersect, turning police briefings and local developments into clear, consequence‑driven stories for people on the road.
Police asking residents to steer clear of road rage
Much of Imran’s recent coverage centres on everyday driving behaviour and the risks that come with it, including a video report in which police warn residents to avoid confrontations and road rage incidents. He builds these pieces around direct police messaging, highlighting practical advice and the specific circumstances that prompted authorities to speak out. His reporting in this area is concise and situational, explaining what happened on local roads, what police are seeing more broadly, and what they want drivers to change.
Imran’s road safety stories typically foreground the consequences of poor decisions behind the wheel. When witnesses report vehicles nearly hitting guard rails or almost side‑swiping other drivers, he details how those 911 calls translate into charges and licence suspensions. He often includes contextual information such as legal blood‑alcohol thresholds and associated penalties, making the implications for ordinary drivers explicit and easy to understand. Across these pieces, his distinguishing trait is the way he connects police warnings to specific behaviours, so readers see both the trigger and the official response.
Drivers clocked at 172 km/h on Highway 400
Imran regularly covers stunt driving and excessive speed, treating major highways and local roads as a recurring stage for enforcement stories. In his report on drivers clocked at 172 km/h on Highway 400 near Seguin Township, he lays out the details of the incident, the ages and hometowns of the accused, and the exact charges they face. He notes vehicle impound periods, licence suspensions, and court dates, underscoring that these are not abstract offences but immediate disruptions to drivers’ lives.
A similar approach appears in his story on a driver allegedly caught at double the speed limit, where he specifies the recorded 120 km/h in a 60 km/h zone, the stunt driving charge, and the length of the vehicle impoundment and licence suspension. By repeating this level of detail across multiple speeding cases, Imran builds a pattern that shows readers how quickly routine driving can turn into a criminal matter. The focus on exact speeds, locations, and sanctions distinguishes his coverage from more generic traffic reports that might stop at describing a collision or a ticket.
Police: Impaired driver causes three vehicle collision
Imran devotes substantial attention to impaired driving and its fallout, often framing stories around specific collisions or unusual arrests. In his account of an impaired driver causing a three‑vehicle collision on Muskoka Road 118 near Beaumaris Road, he outlines the sequence of events and lists the full set of charges, including operation while impaired, dangerous operation, driving while under suspension, and being a G1 licence holder without a qualified driver. This layered charge sheet becomes part of the narrative, showing how multiple infractions compound in a single incident.
He extends this focus in pieces where drivers admit to consuming “a lot” of alcohol or are found asleep behind the wheel in a drive‑thru. These stories blend human detail with statutory thresholds: breath test results expressed in milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, combined with the minimum levels that trigger a licence suspension in Ontario and other penalties. Imran’s consistent inclusion of such figures and statutory context sets his impaired‑driving coverage apart from routine crash briefs, turning them into quick primers on how the law treats different kinds of risky behaviour.
Carney responds to Simcoe County Auto Mayors
Alongside day‑to‑day road safety and enforcement, Imran also reports on the broader automotive sector and its political oversight. In his story on the Simcoe County Auto Mayors’ coalition, he covers their push to safeguard Canada’s automotive industry and secure a meeting with the prime minister, then details the response from the prime minister’s office and the ministers now engaged with the file. The piece traces the mayors’ letter of intent, the forwarding of their concerns to federal and provincial ministers, and the commitment to ongoing discussions about revitalizing the sector.
By pairing this kind of industry‑focused coverage with his regular reporting on stunt driving, impaired operation, and police investigations, Imran presents the automotive world as both an economic pillar and a daily public safety concern. The thread running through his work is the impact of cars and driving on communities: from overdose investigations near highway off‑ramps, to sudden deaths around local boat launches, to alleged child luring, robbery attempts connected to vehicle sales, and firearms cases pursued by regional OPP detachments. The consistent presence of vehicles, roads, and enforcement outcomes marks his bylines as distinct within local news, giving communications teams in the automotive and public safety space a clear sense of where his attention lies.
Imran joined CTV News as a digital news lead in May 2026, and his recent output reflects that role: fast‑turnaround digital stories, frequently built from police and official sources, with emphasis on clarity, legal consequences, and the specific conditions facing drivers in his coverage area. Outside the Barrie desk, his professional profiles describe him as a multimedia journalist and digital reporter with experience in long‑form print writing, breaking news, photography, and broadcast, which aligns with the variety of text and video formats visible in his work.
