Toronto police say a man has been arrested and charged after debris was strewn across South Kingsway on Sunday morning following a hit-and-run collision.

Police said they responded to the area of South Kingsway and Ripley Avenue around 8 a.m. after a white truck crashed into a bus shelter, telephone pole and mailbox before fleeing the scene.

No one was injured. The man has been charged with impaired driving and failing to remain at the scene of a collision.

About an hour and a half after the crash, a Global News cameraman spotted a white pickup truck near Armadale Avenue and South Kingsway, approximately five minutes’ drive from where the crash took place. It is believed that this vehicle may have been the pickup involved in the collision.

The pickup had significant damage to its front end, and the licence plate on the truck matched a plate on the ground at the scene of the collision.

Officers were also there speaking to a man who was in the back of a police cruiser.
