A Norfolk County resident faces multiple charges after crashing into a Port Dover business and fleeing the scene in August.
In the early hours of Sunday, August 18th, Norfolk County OPP officers, alongside the Norfolk County Fire Department and Paramedic Services, responded to a single-vehicle crash on Main Street, Port Dover. A sedan reportedly left the road, hitting the exterior of a business and causing significant damage.
The driver and a passenger fled on foot before authorities arrived. Following the investigation, OPP identified the driver, a 22-year-old from Norfolk County, who now faces charges including careless driving, failing to remain, failing to report an accident, driving without a license, and having an open liquor container in the vehicle.
The accused will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe at a later date.
