A 53-year-old man from Wasauksing First Nation is facing several charges after allegedly hitting a parked vehicle and leaving the scene before being stopped by police.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police, officers received a report around 9 p.m. on Feb. 18 about a suspected impaired driver who had struck a parked vehicle while departing a local restaurant. Police located and pulled over the vehicle shortly afterward on Oastler Park Drive in Seguin Township.
Following the investigation, the driver was charged with careless driving, failing to report an accident, and failing to remain at the scene of a collision. He also faces two impaired driving-related charges, including operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit.
As part of the penalties, his licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for a week. The accused has been released and is scheduled to appear in court in Parry Sound on April 2.
