A Kingston man has been charged for allegedly causing a four-vehicle collision, and then fleeing the scene while drunk.
On Monday before 1 p.m., a 19-year-old man was travelling down Princess Street and allegedly struck another car near Centennial Street.
Police say the 19-year-old then drove into the right turning lane and over the curb, spinning up dirt. Police said he then struck a light standard before backing up onto the roadway, allegedly hitting another vehicle and causing a chain reaction, where four vehicles collided.
