A Lindsay man has been charged following a collision involving a pedestrian in Picton on Monday.

Prince Edward County OPP say officers received three calls around 9:30 a.m about a pedestrian who had been struck by a white minivan. The vehicle allegedly left the scene at Loyalist Parkway near the No-Frills Plaza in Hallowell Ward.

OPP say an investigation revealed the collision was the result of an alleged road-rage event just prior to a 38-year-old man being struck in the parking lot of the plaza. The victim declined medical attention for minor injuries, police said.

The suspect and vehicle were later located at a construction site on Treasure Cove Lane in Athol Ward.
