A 22-year-old man is facing a number of charges following a head-on collision in Nackawic, N.B.
Shortly after 4 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 21, RCMP responded to a report of a collision on Landegger Drive, where a minivan had collided head-on with another vehicle.
Police say the collision happened with enough force that the minivan landed on the front lawn of a nearby home, narrowly missing the house.

He has been charged with dangerous driving, leaving the scene of an accident, taking a vehicle without consent, as well as two counts of breach of probation. He was remanded in custody pending a bail hearing on Dec. 27 at 9:30 a.m.
