A 19 year old male from Clairmont is facing a number of charges after he failed to stop for police and fled the scene of a collision earlier last evening.
Last evening, at approximately 5:15 p.m., RCMP attempted to stop a blue Ford F-150 after it was observed to have been driven in a dangerous manner in the area of 108th Street and 79th Avenue. The vehicle failed to stop for police and is believed to have continued south bound on 108th Street where it was reported to have been involved in at least one collision. The suspect vehicle continued on, failing to remain at the scene of the collision.
The suspect vehicle was spotted by police a short time later on Resources Road. Police again attempted to stop the vehicle. This time, the vehicle stopped but the driver fled on foot into a wooded area. The alleged driver was located and arrested without incident a short time later.
A 19 year old male from Clairmont is facing a variety of criminal charges and driving related offences under provincial statutes. A bail hearing is being held and police will provide an update on the charges and name of the accused later Monday morning.
RCMP are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or other driving offences committed by this vehicle to please contact the Grande Prairie RCMP at 780-830-5701.
