Driver Arrested After Crash

The long arm of the law caught up with a Chatham man after a high speed chase in Chatham’s north-east end.

Around 5 o’clock Sunday morning, an officer spotted a blue pick-up whipping along McNaughton Avenue East, but wasn’t able to catch up.

The truck was later found on its roof in a ditch on Caledonia Road, however the driver had already fled the scene.

Investigators were able to track down a 22-year-old man, who is also accused of lying to officers about his involvement in the crash.

Charges include careless driving, failing to remain at the scene of a crash, and public mischief.
