Man Faces 8 Charges In 7-Vehicle, 1-Building Collision In Port Colborne, Ont.

The Canadian Press, 08 Dec, 2016 12:50 PM
    PORT COLBORNE, Ont. — Police say a 51-year-old man is facing eight charges following a series of collisions in Port Colborne, Ont., that involved seven vehicles and a building, and sent two people to hospital.
     
    Investigators say a pickup truck collided with a parked vehicle Wednesday morning and continued down the street where it collided with a vehicle stopped in traffic.
     
    They say the pickup failed to stop for either collision, hitting another vehicle and continued on, crashed into a vehicle stopped at an intersection, sending it through the intersection into the front doors of a building.
     
    Police say the pickup kept moving down the street, crashing into two more parked vehicles before coming to rest.
     
    They say the driver fled and was arrested after a witness followed him and told officers where he went.
     
    Damage is estimated to be in excess of $200,000 and a Port Colborne man is charged with two alcohol-related counts and six counts of failing to stop at the scene of a collision.
